Another shock for the
people of Bangalore..!?
uber Price..?
Uber company has increased demand after Corona. Due to this,
customer journeys have started to increase. However, due to inflation, the costs have also increased. Meanwhile, a big controversy erupted last month over the charging of taxi
services in Bengaluru. Call taxi and
auto service companies are forced to increase the fees to control the cost amid the increase in costs. Although
uber has been providing taxi
services in many cities across India, it has been facing many problems in Karnataka.
Recently, there have been many complaints in Bengaluru that companies like
ola and
uber are charging too much. As a result, all taxi
service companies were ordered to stop their services. It was reported that
uber and
ola charge more than normal taxis. Due to this, the state transport department ordered companies like
ola,
uber, and Rapido to stop their
services in Karnataka.
However, after that, the autos of those companies which were run in violation of the order of the
karnataka government were seized. As a result,
ola and
uber filed a petition in the
karnataka high court against the order of the
karnataka government. The
karnataka high court heard the case and ordered the
karnataka government to negotiate with
ola and
uber and not to take action against the companies until a final decision is taken.
Not only that, but the
high court had also said that until the
karnataka government decides on the fee, the fee can be fixed by 10% more than the amount fixed by the government. But this is not financially sustainable. Affiliates and riders will suffer if we cannot cover our costs and commissions. This has forced us to take the difficult decision to limit our
services to certain areas of Bangalore.On
october 14, the
karnataka high court allowed an additional margin of 10% excluding GST, pending a consensus between the
karnataka Transport Department and the taxi operators.
But Uber's commission includes many expenses like GPS safety
service, safety helpline, 24 hours
phone service, in-person delivery
service, insurance for drivers, and insurance for riders. So the costs in the market are high. Such expenditure has to be met through the commission earned. Our commission is our profit.
There should be a flexible commission structure. It will ensure reasonable commission to the clients. This will ensure the growth of taxi companies, according to Uber. Reportedly more than 50,000
auto addicts are using Surabaya. More than 10 lakh
people use surplus every month in the city. The company has also stated in a website post that the current fixed fee is not sufficient. In general, taxi companies are forced to either increase the fee or stop the service.
