A Look at Uber's Lost and Found Index 2024
Feeling a bit forgetful lately? You're not alone! According to Uber's 2024 Lost and Found Index, Delhi takes the crown as the most forgetful city in India for the second year running. Mumbai holds onto its second-place spot, while Bangalore reclaims its third place from Hyderabad. Pune rounds up the top five, proving that memory lapses are a nationwide phenomenon.
What do people forget the most? Phones, bags, wallets, and clothing top the list, followed by everyday items like water bottles, keys, and accessories. But Indians also forgot some unique items, including a Ukulele instrument, a coin collection, prasad, and even a hair trimmer. Important documents like passports and bank papers also made it to the list of lost items.
Interestingly, November 9th, 10th, and 11th were the days passengers were most likely to leave their stuff behind, with 6 pm, 7 pm, and 8 pm emerging as the peak times for forgetfulness.
