The joy of riding with vibey passengers
We at Briefly News spoke with Jonathan Musinda, an experienced Uber driver, to discuss the reality of engaging with passengers and the effect that positive interactions have on his day-to-day work.
We asked the man if he's ever been serenaded by a passenger during a trip. He responded:
"I have never had a passenger serenade me like the lady in the video, but I have on many occasions gotten requests to play songs from customers who have had something to drink and would sing out loud from the back seat. Others prefer to sit in front and play connect with their phones."
The team asked if a passenger's mood or energy affects the driver's mental focus during a long driving shift. He shared:
"Good energy is actually calming; the worst distraction is an angry or complicated passenger. A positive vibe makes the road less stressful and keeps me feeling sharp and focused."
When asked how she remains professional and concentrates on the road when a passenger is highly engaging or distracting, Jonathan responded:
"It's all about experience and discipline. I keep my eyes on the road and only check the rear-view mirror when I need to; I participate in the conversation just enough to be friendly but maintain that invisible line of professionalism."

User @Moa commented:
"My brother used to drive for Bolt, and he called me to tell me that he was with a young client who happened to be super drunk and was on the way. My advice to him was to take the lady back; I said it was better not to pitch for work than to face a disciplinary hearing. He did likewise, and the lady remembers him to this day."
User @Zama Mshengu added:
"Passengers like you deserve the best drivers 🥰🔥."
User @Nothando Maseko said:
"The driver will catch feelings ☺️🥰."
User @Sbarbie_L commented:
"This reminds me of myself before buying a car. Shame some even knew me because I used to vent to them. I even thought they were my friends 😂."
User @Paraeseso joked:
"After you do that to me, we are in a relationship. Because I'm not going to spend the rest of my life wondering if I fumbled a real connection😭."
