Dubai: A taxi driver using a transportation app caused controversy by ejecting a customer who asked him to stop smoking, in Saudi Arabia.

During a recent ride he booked through a legally operating passenger transport app, the driver surprised Naif by lighting a cigarette.

When Naif requested the driver to put out the cigarette, the situation escalated.

However, the driver later contacted Naif, hurling insults and threats.

Some are even calling for his deportation to ensure such behavior is not tolerated.
