No commission, No fare hike..! Bangalore's Youth's New Taxi..!?
Call taxi, started by young
people from Bangalore, Drife, is becoming very popular to compete with
ola and
uber call taxi companies. Good management, experienced
drivers, and no commission system have made
customers and
drivers happy. While
ola and Uber's companies are getting commissions from
customers due to the rise in
petrol prices, Drife is serving
customers without commission. In the year 2021, a Calltaxi company called Drife was started in Bangalore. Firdosh and co-founders
surya Ranjith and Mudit Marda started the call taxi
service on a commission-free basis.
It has been announced that Drife, which started in the first phase in Bangalore, is doing 1000 rides per week and can book rides through Android and
iphone applications. Like
ola and
uber, this call taxi
service will contact the
customers immediately if the
driver informs them of the pickup and destination through the app. But at the same time unlike companies like
ola and
uber, the location of nearby
drivers is shown to
customers once they tell their destination through the app.
It is worth noting that all the details including fares are visible on the app the minute after the
customer chooses the driver. If the payment details are satisfactory, the
customer can take the ride. Companies like
ola and
uber set the fares for customers' rides. It is noted that a certain percentage of it is given as commission to the drivers. 30 to 40% is said to be given to drivers.
But with Drife Call Taxi it is completely different. There is no commission for drivers. But at the same time, the
driver can decide the fare of the ride. Especially if the
driver has set a fare of 1000 rupees for the customer's ride, the
driver can change it to 1500 rupees. It is noted that if the
customer accepts the amount, 500 rupees will be available to the driver.
In this program, the
driver will know instantly how much per ride.
drivers are more willing to accept this method as the money is instantly in hand. Also, it is noted that this is a type of program that both
customers and
drivers agree to, as the
drivers acceptably fix the fare to satisfy the customers.
