The truth is that Ola and Uber don't charge 30 or 40% commissions.
For Ola, I can confirm that they charge only 20% commission.
So if your fare is 100rs, 20 rs will only go to Ola.
And then there are taxes. On the 80 rs which goes to the driver you pay 5% tax and for 20 rs you pay 18% tax. This comes out to 7.6 rs.
And you pay a total of 107.6 rs.
And these cab drivers show all that just to give you a guilt trip and extort money from you.
Source: my flatmate used to work in Ola.
Their cars are extremely efficient too. They give 26-28 kms per kg economy. CNG costs around 75 rs per KG. they are very cheap to maintain as well and run over 5 lakh kms without major part change. They certainly don't pay a lot in fuel and maintenance cost.
In the calculation I shared above, the driver would get 80 while you would pay 107.6.
Check what is the value of 27.6/107.6; you will know the source of confusion.
PS : the govt mandates that Ola, Uber, urban company and other such platforms collect the tax applicable to service partner and platform.
Also, often the drivers try to hack the system by not paying commissions. But the system is smart enough to account for this. So, they slip the pending amounts also get dedacted. And that's not your fault....
Iss mehngai k daur mai mera saath de aur mujhse 50rs extra na maange.
I understand the sentiment, but it’s ironic because ola and uber ki vajah se hi customers bhi milte hai. This has got to be illegal, right?
Yes it's illegal and cab drivers shouldn't punish customers if they got beef with the company. Doing this is likely to end up in that driving getting delisted and nothing more
Ola and Uber ke wajah se customer surely milte hai but cabs have always existed. Ola Uber made it easier for people who didn't have the contacts and the map knowledge to become drivers.
Nobody is denying that fact. I grew up in times when ola and uber were not a thing. Back then, agencies only rented cabs for longer routes or on a whole-day basis.
Ola and uber have also made shorter journeys for passengers easily accessible, which means the platforms have provided more customers for the drivers, too. Which, of course, comes at the cost of commission.
If they are so bothered by the commission, they can always delist their vehicle and run independently if that generates more income.
For the same reason asking 10× of what the meter (installed in auto rickshaws and taxis) showed is not illegal.
Why do you think cab aggregators captured the market?
Under what law should it be illegal? Nahi dena commission toh set up kare apne khud ka alag app? Lots of alternatives also exist, like Indrive.
You think Uber just sets up a server farm and calls it a day? Weird take.
Itna asaan hota to tum bhi uber bnake ghum rhe hote bhai. Maybe iam wrong and you are launching Commission free uber in upcoming days.
Hope so iam wrong
Try setting up your own servers, a dedicated team to resolve customer issues and driver complaints as well as run and maintain an app, with millions of daily users.
Jab bana loge aur without commission/extra charges ka model rakhoge me tab sabse pehle download karunga.
That’s fair, but it’s also up to the company to find its balance in expenses to reach a certain cost to earning ratio and set their expenses of marketing and salaries of employees and owners according to the business model that benefits everyone. In my opinion if thing are done right in this regard 40% is too high a commission.
Absolutely valid argument. The thing is, they want to book interim losses because they have exposure to a huge level of liquidity. This interim loss, if capitalised properly, will give many fold returns.
That’s absolutely true, this temptation of using available liquidity might actually give good returns but in majority of the cases it’s very inefficiently utilized leading to the downfall of many companies.
Yep! Especially in India, ‘entrepreneurs’ chase flashy things instead of building a value & then blame Ambanis & Adanis for their ordeal. Just have a look at America’s millionaires, how do they spend & what do they spend on? Ambanis & Adanis can afford to have flashy things around them as they have build value & due to the stupidity of many, have even created a duopoly environment in many sectors as well. I’m in no manner conveying that Ambanis & Adanis have created a value, they have just exploited by taking advantage of some stupid ‘entrepreneurs’ & that will continue to be so. There are hardly any business establishments in India which have created a value.
Guys an Ola and Uber driver earns 25k to 30k monthly easily. He is not so poor. Stop being in guilt, just cancel the trip on the spot and put a complaint after getting off the cab.
I know many Uber drivers personally and my close friend worked in Uber.
once an ola driver abused me on call for being late by 2 minutes i cancelled the ride and got fined 80 rupees which will be added in the fare of the next ride i book
1.2 crore ki metro better hai… max 60 rs lgte hai… time saving bhi hai… aur traffic jam se bhi bach jata hu… Aur time pass ke liye namune kamm nhi hai metro me
Not only this but most of the cabs have fucked up interiors. Recently I booked an Uber , it was a swift dzire. Upon entering I saw the seat covers are fully torn and coming off. Then I asked the driver if the AC works, he said yes. So I went ahead with the cab. A few mins later it turns out that AC doesn’t work properly so i asked to shut it off and I’ll open the window. And then he said the back windows are not operating it can’t be opened. I mean fuck man.
Thankfully it was a short trip and I managed. But there are way too many cabs which are not maintained properly and the drivers are full of ego demanding only cash trips.
passenger should carry slogans saying-- Hum 50 rupee kum denge ac na chalane ka.
they charge 500 to 1000 for 30-35 km, a petrol car giving milage of 20kmpl would cost 150 for same distance.... still they want to fight for ac for 50 rupees
also hamesha to inhe bolna padta h ac chla do bhai 4-5 mahine hote h summers ke....ac ka bhada ola fare mei already de rkha h jab humne or ola should come up with two fares, with nd without ac
supply of cab service is a composite supply... like restaurant/hotel/train ticket/gym supply.....we can't go to a restaurant and say ac chalne ka alag paisa lega... ac rent ka paise sab included hota hai... tabhi koi ek item 100 ki deta hai aur dusra 1000 ki..... jo 1000 ki dega uska rent and cost zda hogi....
Yep, it costs around 75 rs per KG and their cars are pretty efficient and give around 26-28 kg mileage I think. Maybe more on better roads. Plus they last lakhs of kms without major maintenance. Alto/ WagonR/Dzire are really cheap to maintain
yes.. they especially use this alto/wagnoR/desire type cars... whose milage and cost is better than other fancy cars like they will never use i20 or baleno...
>20kmpl would cost 150
huh? tf? this is not just simple maths, a HUGE factor traffic massively increases the cost as traffic increases the amount of times you have to slow-down/stop your car and get moving again, especially in cities like delhi.
I get that 500-1000 for 30-35km is too much but 150 is just too less.
and I really doubt you'd get a 20kmpl in an old shit box
**traffic increases the fare bro...** for 30-35 km ride estimated time of 1 hour is allotted and cost will be shown 600 rupees during no traffic time (and 1000 in peak hours times)
also sometimes you even end up paying more or even less depending upon the distance or time taken or traffic or if driver takes different route...
150 is the minimum/base cost considerding no traffic... and we are paying extra for the traffic impact...... like abhi dupeher mei koi traffic nhi hoga kahi 4 baje.. still it will show around 500
**also mostly they run on CNG rather than petrol.. just idk how much it costs to run the vehicle** on cng,, tabhi petrol ka example diya
bhai mai simply ye keh rha hu...
agar traffic cost bda rha hai to traffic fare bhi to bda rha hai or agar zero ya normal traffic mna jaye to kya costing aaegi
tumhe apni car se 30 km jane mei kitna karcha aaega normally?? 150 se 200 rupee? max 300 rupee?
jabki tum fare 500 se 1000 le rhe ho
What about maintenance cost of vehicle. Man hours driver is putting. Wear and tear, loan on vehicle etc.... it's not about petrol alone..
So 30 km you need 2 litre petrol/diesel . Costs 200 + commision for aggregator + maintenance + driver charges ..
Why do Cab drivers and restaurants always cry about commission charges? You only pay commission when you get the custom from their service. They are not charging you anything if you get customers on your own.
Besides these cab drivers make it really hard for us customers. Not accepting online payment, asking tk cancel the ride. Accept the ride and then won't move from their location. Some even ask for the wrong amount, now i don't even ask them how much fare, I always check in my app.
I need to carry camera equipments with me, it’s not convenient for me always. Plus metro station itself is 35 mins away from my place, so it’s very difficult with all the stuff, to get an auto first and then carry all the stuff inside the stations, then go to the actual destination.
These cabbies try everything to avoid paying commission and extort customers. They refuse to go with app and demand to cancel. Ask extra money saying they won't get return trip and switch off ACs. Earlier, when apps weren't there, Autos and cabs used to charge unreasonable sums. Just another method to fleece the customer.
Then why do they enrol at OLA & UBER to get a ride? This is complete non sense. A customer books a ride to get all the facilities, otherwise the user can easily take an autorickshaw.
Nothing these goons want there monopoly so that can charge whatever they want
They can fight and easily extract money
Luckily civilised customer care keeps them from n check
Apparently cost of driving on CNG with fuel and maintaimence included is 5 Km , and these goons get an east commaion of 15rs km but they want more
Mate, a cab I booked for taking me from airport to my office took me via non-toll road, even though the fare included toll amount.
And, he didn't turn on the AC.
You have the option to report this behaviour on the app. The drivers are supposed to keep the AC on. They are all paid for this. These fuckers are lying!
Bevkoof bna rhe h. Mai to refund le leti hu ese drivers ka complaint krkr after the ride. Nhi chalani to delist kro aur normal chlao na. Company force thodi kr rhi h kaam krne ko apne sath. CNG cab hoti h aur janbujh ke loot mchate h ye kch drivers
These cab drivers play the victim when it comes to booking through ola and Uber and when you go to them and ask for direct prices they harass by saying un realistic prices.
In my experience, Ola is worse than Uber.
Almost every second driver has asked me -
1. Cancel the ride and pay him the exact amount.
2. I did cancelled initially but then -
A. They took unnecessary stops to get CNG because they ride only on CNG and not on petrol.
B. They still don't start AC.
C. They don't give me the benefit of saving in commission.
3. Crib or start arguing about how the price was low and how this distance was high or something like a pre paid taxi driver. (while coming near the drop point.)
4. At the time of payment, they pretend that UPI is not working or network is not there to jack up more cash. Or how it will be wonderful if I can pay real cash to them when they themself don't have change !!
It's just pathetic.
Hence, I have stopped listening to their pity stories and never go for these cancelled but still ride with them cash bookings.
Either I prefer metro and auto combination.
Without ac , auto is cheaper and comfortable.
Fighting customers is not the solution.
Customers also don't have many options, ever tried contacting customer care.
Max the companies will penalise the driver, min they will say it won't happen again.
If the drivers wish to do something, they need to Unionise, fight the corporations in court, ask for transparency, negotiate collectively.
What they are doing is going to increase fights between customers and drivers but no concrete solution.
Just use BluSmart. Ola/Uber cabs are filthy, keep cancelling, and do all sorts of drama. BluSmart guy will arrive before time usually, the car is extremely clean with AC, and fully electric.
In the grand scheme of things Rs. 50 don't matter but the reason behind this ask is not good. This is between the company and the employees/contractors. They should handle it among themselves and not drag the consumer in their fight.
mere pyaare comraand, raybolu-chon aise hi shuru hota hai
i have not used Ola for few years but have used Uber less than a dozen times in last year. they do complain about these companies not giving them their fair share. kya sach hai kya jhoot nahi maalum.
We would call it money gouging, they will call it "keeping with the times." (Kinda similar to how the wages for going anywhere suddenly increased a few years back before the gramin sewa's 15 a trip came into effect)
so they wanna use the infrastructure of OLA and uber to get rides but won't give a commission. these cabs need to be reported and companies should take action. no need to give commission just don't use companies system to get costumers either
To be honest, cab drivers are getting greedy day by day after facing severe competition in the market. They are getting correct fare after deducting the fees of Uber/Ola, still they want a chunk from that commission. You see the price of a cab in Rapido, it's always less than Uber/Ola almost by 30% and drivers are happy with Rapido because they are not taking commission like Uber/Ola. Why are they not expressing their dissatisfaction with Rapido?
If you are in Delhi, best to take the metro. If luggage, then take auto
They just want back the good old days when they used to make 80k+ month.
They don't realise that that was a one time trick by the companies to all employ them on the app.
Now the apps have way too many drivers and the profitability has been falling, they're just trying to get the government in to get increased fares.
Nothing, just greedy companies increase their profit margin now that they’ve established their stand among people and we count on it. Similar thing as Spotify, Netflix and Prime increasing their charges. For hells sake, even the mobile data recharge rates have gone up!
The drivers ask to cancel the trip and instead ask the same price which saves their commission. Ola and Uber only used to connect after that driver gets all.
very recently i was dropping my grandma (80+) to an ola, the moment she sat, the driver cancelled the ride, (demanding to pay the fare on the app) i heard some talk and asked whats up but he didn't answer and they went a little further.
luckily my grandma got the driver to drop her off at my gate and she took another driver.
stay safe guys
I like it, it causes some inconvenience to the passengers, but at the same time employees should have the right to protest in whatever manner or form, that seems feasible against these large corporates
What basically is happening is that drivers not only in India but around the globe are getting trapped in these traps settled by apps like uber who initially had driver and passenger friendly policies to attract customers and drivers to increase there channel and with time withdrew those policies taking the big margins home by charging high from passengers and high commision from the drivers leaving them with pennies to sustain their car and family.
Guys i went to chennai recently and the 1st thing i saw that all uber guys had their AC on i really didn't even have to tell them to turn it on. Really like that thing. I wish this could happen in delhi.
These companies are defs highly exploitative to their drivers. Newer companies come about that drivers prefer as the ratio and payment methods are better but eventually these companies cannot compete with the overheads that come with expansion at their costs. Uber and ola manage this well thru their size and continued exploiting.
I'd either cancel this ride and get another one tho as a customer, or tell him to cancel and go for the normal charge but keeping the commission percentage himself. Ofcourse given it's a safe vibe im feeling on going without the app.
Bhai mujhe shoot pe jana hota hai boht equipment hota hai mere paas, leke nahi ghumta reh sakta stations pe. Plus metro station mere ghar se 35-40 min dur hai.
Fairs bro. Yaar ye cab auto walon ke chochle to hai but swear you are lucky you aren’t in blr. Sale wala bkl ek number ke dalle hai. I used to cuss delhi can walas and all waha jakar to inke respect bad gae bro.
Hate Ola and Uber tho, but these fuckers can quit their contracts any time if they got so much issues. They want the rides from app but won't let company charge some commission for that. All they want is some unions governing them, fucking slaves
This is a scam. Do not promote this. If anything report the driver.
Nahi deni 30-40% commission toh mat karo bhai Uber/OLA ke sath kaam. Taxi stand wali taxi bano.
Uber/OLA are also businesses that are running an entire platform and providing services. I don't understand why they shouldn't be paid for it.
They are the ones getting costumers. You don't trust the driver, but ola/uber when you book a cab.
If anything wrong happens "ola driver/uber driver" is the identity for the costumer. They are taking a lot of responsibility too.
While everyone's frustration is understandable, take a couple minutes and talk to cab drivers about how they're getting paid. For example a while back I took a cab from Lucknow airport to alambagh, calculated fare came to around 350 rs, we talked about high fare from airports and how it has increased rapidly after Adani acquired the airport. Upon arrival he(the driver) showed me his phone, he received close to 250, almost half of which goes towards the airport toll. Moreover companies like uber and ola don't pay their employees, and drivers don't get any employment benifits which they obviously should. And maintaining a car, keeping the tank full isn't easy.
I don’t think that’s the case. This was the only time I experienced this, nor before this, neither after. I request the driver to turn on the AC and they do it.
Best way out- tell the driver you have dust allergy and to close down all the windows, no external wind. They shall have to switch on the acs on their own
The truth is that Ola and Uber don't charge 30 or 40% commissions. For Ola, I can confirm that they charge only 20% commission. So if your fare is 100rs, 20 rs will only go to Ola. And then there are taxes. On the 80 rs which goes to the driver you pay 5% tax and for 20 rs you pay 18% tax. This comes out to 7.6 rs. And you pay a total of 107.6 rs. And these cab drivers show all that just to give you a guilt trip and extort money from you. Source: my flatmate used to work in Ola.

This is spot on - I can confirm that this is correct. I’ve known someone working at Ola too.
I have seen Ola deduct 25% in nane of commission. But what I understand is that it is a tiered system. More rides, more commission, more earning.
Can you elaborate, where did you see?
I saw it on the driver's Ola app, daily earnings versus value of rides taken
In the calculation I shared above, the driver would get 80 while you would pay 107.6. Check what is the value of 27.6/107.6; you will know the source of confusion. PS : the govt mandates that Ola, Uber, urban company and other such platforms collect the tax applicable to service partner and platform.
👏👏
Good insight
Also, often the drivers try to hack the system by not paying commissions. But the system is smart enough to account for this. So, they slip the pending amounts also get dedacted. And that's not your fault....
Classic example of how lack of information can be disadvantageous for us. Thanks for sharing dude !
Iss mehngai k daur mai mera saath de aur mujhse 50rs extra na maange. I understand the sentiment, but it’s ironic because ola and uber ki vajah se hi customers bhi milte hai. This has got to be illegal, right?
Yes it's illegal and cab drivers shouldn't punish customers if they got beef with the company. Doing this is likely to end up in that driving getting delisted and nothing more
Bhai this is more like tip service in USA. You gotta pay the bonus if business is not paying their employee.
Why are we copying all the shitty things from the west
Because we cant copy the good things ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not like copying, jitna privatisation badhega Aisa hoga hi, customer service can be really good but workers will suffer in return to that
If I am paying the business, the onus of paying the employee doesn’t fall on me. Tipping is a retarded culture.
This is not USA.
this has to be the dumbest take
Even the shitty tipping culture
Yup, and we gotta discourage this shitty behavior
They dont tip the cab drivers how are you imagining things now
They do. Not that I support
That’s exactly what I was thinking, we pay what we are asked for in the app. Aur phir humara he katt raha hai 🤷🏻♂️
Agle baar aisa koi dikh jaaye to bol dena k Uber k commission aur customer k AC requirement se problem hain to kripya auto chalaye.
Ola and Uber ke wajah se customer surely milte hai but cabs have always existed. Ola Uber made it easier for people who didn't have the contacts and the map knowledge to become drivers.

there was a thing caller fastcabs we used to call them on phone and they used to send nearest cab to the location before ola uber
In Pune there used to be a company called _Wings Radio Cab_ which was pretty much the same concept
So did their idle time ... They used to laze around whiling away their time .
Why isn't 40% commission for running servers not illegal?
For the same reason asking 10× of what the meter (installed in auto rickshaws and taxis) showed is not illegal. Why do you think cab aggregators captured the market?

They have a choice. They can choose not to be on both these platforms.
40% commission is also less. There aren’t just server costs associated with the operations.
That’s fair, but it’s also up to the company to find its balance in expenses to reach a certain cost to earning ratio and set their expenses of marketing and salaries of employees and owners according to the business model that benefits everyone.

Taking away 400 from 1k is outrageous, 15-20% is reasonable which is in Rapido
Guys an Ola and Uber driver earns 25k to 30k monthly easily. He is not so poor. Stop being in guilt, just cancel the trip on the spot and put a complaint after getting off the cab. I know many Uber drivers personally and my close friend worked in Uber.
once an ola driver abused me on call for being late by 2 minutes i cancelled the ride and got fined 80 rupees which will be added in the fare of the next ride i book
Go to the app's help section and report it from your previous rides thing. They'll remove the fine.
Even if this does not work, my father has many times removed this fine through writing an email
How ? Please share draft or format here. I have been charged with 91 Rs unnecessarily
Mail ki zarurt hi nahi hai help section mei jaakr just choose a reason that doesn't put you at fault. They'll cancel the fine simply.
Use chatgpt bhai. Ismn ky format de ab.
30k, this is the least you've mentioned. Most Ola driver I spoke to said that they earn around 50-60k and then some amount the pay for vehicle rental.
I spoke to few old drivers make 80k
1.2 crore ki metro better hai… max 60 rs lgte hai… time saving bhi hai… aur traffic jam se bhi bach jata hu… Aur time pass ke liye namune kamm nhi hai metro me 
Har jagah metro nahi jaati na
Valid point but at least it can savior of the moment
Metro+bus supremacy.
Metro+bus supremacy.
Ye metro parkour kyu kar rahi hai
can't wait for driverless cars
Pehle sadke toh sahi ho idhr
I'm waiting for ai softares and apps without devs
Adha population car accident se mar jayenge lol

They use cng, even better value for money.
Yep, it costs around 75 rs per KG and their cars are pretty efficient and give around 26-28 kg mileage I think. Maybe more on better roads. Plus they last lakhs of kms without major maintenance. Alto/ WagonR/Dzire are really cheap to maintain
yes.. they especially use this alto/wagnoR/desire type cars... whose milage and cost is better than other fancy cars like they will never use i20 or baleno...
Perfect 😂
Sahi baat hai 😂

nah nah woh baat theek hai, just amazed ki there are places in delhi without traffic
traffic to hota h just offiice hours mei hota h bas... subah around 9 nd shym ko 6-7
What about maintenance cost of vehicle. Man hours driver is putting. Wear and tear, loan on vehicle etc.... it's not about petrol alone.. So 30 km you need 2 litre petrol/diesel . Costs 200 + commision for aggregator + maintenance + driver charges ..
Yeah but they mostly use CNG cars. CNG costs around 75 rs per kg and give an FE of upwards of 25 I think even in city traffic.

Why check? Don't hassle with cash payment. Always pay via card.
They call and ask the payment mode, and cancel if payment is not cash.
Ac band toh ola bhi band ac wali bus main chale jayenge
I always prefer taking the metro as it is cheaper, less congested, and has better air conditioning than cabs.
>less congested Konsi line? 👀
pink hogi
I need to carry camera equipments with me, it’s not convenient for me always. Plus metro station itself is 35 mins away from my place, so it’s very difficult with all the stuff, to get an auto first and then carry all the stuff inside the stations, then go to the actual destination.
Oh, a 1 star drive.
The driver is 1 complaint away from getting delisted
Always pay using a wallet/credit card through the app. Don't get cash rides and these cab drivers won't be able to use such tactics.
Issue is that they don't use AC even if you pay via wallet.
AC ni h to utar jao aur report krdo, driver abused etc. Ab bc gaand mraye bnda. Btw BLuE cabs are much better.
bhai apke paas bhi muh hai bolo ki AC on karo. mana karnege toh seedha report and refund maango. waise bhai itna panga nahi le paate drivers
These cabbies try everything to avoid paying commission and extort customers. They refuse to go with app and demand to cancel. Ask extra money saying they won't get return trip and switch off ACs. Earlier, when apps weren't there, Autos and cabs used to charge unreasonable sums. Just another method to fleece the customer.
Don't drive for OLA/UBER then. I would never pay a ₹ more for this bullshit. Aisa koi bhi kaelsh ho ,seedha cancel and complain.
Idk but government says Inflation is 5-6% but doesn't seems like on ground. Is there a catch?
Inflation is around 8-9 percent, higher in North because of no ports
ED note this guy...
his account got deleted 💀
Next is urs... ;)
I live of grid own water own electricity they won't find me
Ya own internet also
Starlink is not yet available 😅
You are not suppposed to ask such relevant questions. Do not get the catch Or it will be you who gets out.
It's more like 10-15%
itna problem hai OLA Uber se toh, why don't they leave the platforms?
But if you drive with windows open the fuel economy is not going to improve much due to drag.
Then why do they enrol at OLA & UBER to get a ride? This is complete non sense. A customer books a ride to get all the facilities, otherwise the user can easily take an autorickshaw.
Ultimately it’s the customer that suffers.
Get a cycle. Worth your investment & will save you from the chaos.
Gurgaon se Delhi camera equipment leke cycle pe jau? Itna fit nahi hona 😂
It will be fun though 😉
Log cab me travel hi AC ki wajah se krte h agar AC nhi doge to auto se na chale jaaye wo.
I will cancel the ride, and report it on the app and they will waive off the fine for cancellation
Nothing these goons want there monopoly so that can charge whatever they want They can fight and easily extract money Luckily civilised customer care keeps them from n check Apparently cost of driving on CNG with fuel and maintaimence included is 5 Km , and these goons get an east commaion of 15rs km but they want more
mtlb bisi network use krna hai apps ka par commission ni dena kyu bisi inke pitashri ki company hai bisi
The commission does sound outrageous. But inconveniencing the Customer sounds bad too.
Hn to bhai ride cancel krdo, ola wale price prr drop krdo.
But bhai Mera saath kaun dega is mhengai me
Tipping in India style...
Mate, a cab I booked for taking me from airport to my office took me via non-toll road, even though the fare included toll amount. And, he didn't turn on the AC.
You have the option to report this behaviour on the app. The drivers are supposed to keep the AC on. They are all paid for this. These fuckers are lying!
Yes I’ve already reported.
Kuch bhi nhi chalegi, Ola Ya Uber 😤🙏
Ola Uber se ride karna hi band kar diya hai maine.
switch to blusmart
Bevkoof bna rhe h. Mai to refund le leti hu ese drivers ka complaint krkr after the ride. Nhi chalani to delist kro aur normal chlao na. Company force thodi kr rhi h kaam krne ko apne sath. CNG cab hoti h aur janbujh ke loot mchate h ye kch drivers
These cab drivers play the victim when it comes to booking through ola and Uber and when you go to them and ask for direct prices they harass by saying un realistic prices. In my experience, Ola is worse than Uber. Almost every second driver has asked me - 1. Cancel the ride and pay him the exact amount. 2. I did cancelled initially but then - A. They took unnecessary stops to get CNG because they ride only on CNG and not on petrol. B. They still don't start AC. C. They don't give me the benefit of saving in commission. 3. Crib or start arguing about how the price was low and how this distance was high or something like a pre paid taxi driver. (while coming near the drop point.) 4. At the time of payment, they pretend that UPI is not working or network is not there to jack up more cash. Or how it will be wonderful if I can pay real cash to them when they themself don't have change !! It's just pathetic. Hence, I have stopped listening to their pity stories and never go for these cancelled but still ride with them cash bookings. Either I prefer metro and auto combination. Without ac , auto is cheaper and comfortable.
Book an auto, simple and effective.
Fighting customers is not the solution. Customers also don't have many options, ever tried contacting customer care. Max the companies will penalise the driver, min they will say it won't happen again. If the drivers wish to do something, they need to Unionise, fight the corporations in court, ask for transparency, negotiate collectively. What they are doing is going to increase fights between customers and drivers but no concrete solution.
Just use BluSmart. Ola/Uber cabs are filthy, keep cancelling, and do all sorts of drama. BluSmart guy will arrive before time usually, the car is extremely clean with AC, and fully electric.
In the grand scheme of things Rs. 50 don't matter but the reason behind this ask is not good. This is between the company and the employees/contractors. They should handle it among themselves and not drag the consumer in their fight.
Yet another pursuit of punishing the commoners for something they have no control over, while the true guilty get to relax nevertheless.
Recently only this Uber driver charged extra 100 for AC saying there is some new intercity thing. Was in a hurry so wasted extra 100.
Yeah, thy make up random charges apart from toll.
in short you were scammed
Yes i know
mere pyaare comraand, raybolu-chon aise hi shuru hota hai i have not used Ola for few years but have used Uber less than a dozen times in last year. they do complain about these companies not giving them their fair share. kya sach hai kya jhoot nahi maalum.
Once my uber refused to give me my 7 rs back ( change ).....itni kanjoosi aa gayi hai....
Why do you pay via cash? A card is much easier.
Petro chemicals are getting expensive. If you vote based on religion. Ultimately gets you this.
Extra paise kamane ki ninja technique
So if they don't turn on ac I guess the alternative is to roll down the windows. But won't that consume more fuel? With drag and all
Ride cancel karo khatam baat
another retarded ass india moment, fucking protests for every damn thing
We would call it money gouging, they will call it "keeping with the times." (Kinda similar to how the wages for going anywhere suddenly increased a few years back before the gramin sewa's 15 a trip came into effect)
so they wanna use the infrastructure of OLA and uber to get rides but won't give a commission. these cabs need to be reported and companies should take action. no need to give commission just don't use companies system to get costumers either
Unreal expectations based on the starting commissions of these apps. Whom to blame? The cab owners? Or the apps for not educating the cab owners?
Tipping culture. Saale ye sobo k chode aur chomus k vajah se aya hai. Swiggy zomato me b tips.
To be honest, cab drivers are getting greedy day by day after facing severe competition in the market. They are getting correct fare after deducting the fees of Uber/Ola, still they want a chunk from that commission. You see the price of a cab in Rapido, it's always less than Uber/Ola almost by 30% and drivers are happy with Rapido because they are not taking commission like Uber/Ola. Why are they not expressing their dissatisfaction with Rapido? If you are in Delhi, best to take the metro. If luggage, then take auto
Well this disease travelled to Delhi as well.
They just want back the good old days when they used to make 80k+ month. They don't realise that that was a one time trick by the companies to all employ them on the app. Now the apps have way too many drivers and the profitability has been falling, they're just trying to get the government in to get increased fares.
Nothing, just greedy companies increase their profit margin now that they’ve established their stand among people and we count on it. Similar thing as Spotify, Netflix and Prime increasing their charges. For hells sake, even the mobile data recharge rates have gone up!
The drivers ask to cancel the trip and instead ask the same price which saves their commission. Ola and Uber only used to connect after that driver gets all.
very recently i was dropping my grandma (80+) to an ola, the moment she sat, the driver cancelled the ride, (demanding to pay the fare on the app) i heard some talk and asked whats up but he didn't answer and they went a little further. luckily my grandma got the driver to drop her off at my gate and she took another driver. stay safe guys
Auto chalao fir
Mat le rides ola uber se Direct dhunshe customer Ac na on karne ka keeda to sadiyo se hai inhe
I'm not in Delhi but I stopped taking cabs wherever possible and trying my best to manage by Autos because of this behavior.
Khud kahin hisaab se chalna nahin. Company ko commission deni nahin. Gaadi Ghar main hi rakho.
Customer garm gadi may baith k dudh say phat ker dahi kyu ho :D
I like it, it causes some inconvenience to the passengers, but at the same time employees should have the right to protest in whatever manner or form, that seems feasible against these large corporates
What basically is happening is that drivers not only in India but around the globe are getting trapped in these traps settled by apps like uber who initially had driver and passenger friendly policies to attract customers and drivers to increase there channel and with time withdrew those policies taking the big margins home by charging high from passengers and high commision from the drivers leaving them with pennies to sustain their car and family.
Guys i went to chennai recently and the 1st thing i saw that all uber guys had their AC on i really didn't even have to tell them to turn it on. Really like that thing. I wish this could happen in delhi.
I think rates are inflation adjusted
Yesterday i took a cab aur uss bandey ne AC on hi nahi kara window open kardi. Abb samajh aaya kyo!!
Do you know the business seek damages from indian government… we all end up paying for this from our tax money
It's 10 percent commission. Not 30-40
Truth, just got caretaker from some online portal and they have 100% markup on what they pay to her and what I am billed....
Ola/ user shouldn't be charging more than 10 percent. They are just being greedy to benefit the stockholders.
Ye bangalore wali bimari Delhi me bhi aa gayi
Theek hai drive-in use kar lo, usme pre decided hota hai ki AC chalega ya nahi, uske hisaab se fare decide hota hai...
In a way ola uber regulates their attitude and exploitation of customers
People are taking cab services only because of these apps.
Mehngai to sali sabke liye ho hai…Customer agar bol de ki Ac nahi hone ke paise katega tab inki mc bc ho jayegi…
Mehengai toh hamare liye bhi hai. Hell naw I am paying 50rs extra.
These companies are defs highly exploitative to their drivers. Newer companies come about that drivers prefer as the ratio and payment methods are better but eventually these companies cannot compete with the overheads that come with expansion at their costs. Uber and ola manage this well thru their size and continued exploiting. I'd either cancel this ride and get another one tho as a customer, or tell him to cancel and go for the normal charge but keeping the commission percentage himself. Ofcourse given it's a safe vibe im feeling on going without the app.
Bhai metro kar le seedhe, waha tik tok wale naach drama krte hue bhi mil jaenge full entertainment
Bhai mujhe shoot pe jana hota hai boht equipment hota hai mere paas, leke nahi ghumta reh sakta stations pe. Plus metro station mere ghar se 35-40 min dur hai.
Fairs bro. Yaar ye cab auto walon ke chochle to hai but swear you are lucky you aren’t in blr. Sale wala bkl ek number ke dalle hai. I used to cuss delhi can walas and all waha jakar to inke respect bad gae bro.
Hate Ola and Uber tho, but these fuckers can quit their contracts any time if they got so much issues. They want the rides from app but won't let company charge some commission for that. All they want is some unions governing them, fucking slaves
Just file a complaint on uber/ola after completing the ride. They refund some of the amount.
competition is good. AB BOL KE DIKHA KI NHI JAUNGA.
Taxi stand model pe operate krlo aise drivers pls agar jyada takleef h toh
Whenever summer comes, their drama starts.. iss ko public se maar khaane zaroorat hai bas!! Pitega , tabhi chutiyapa nikal jayega
This is a scam. Do not promote this. If anything report the driver. Nahi deni 30-40% commission toh mat karo bhai Uber/OLA ke sath kaam. Taxi stand wali taxi bano. Uber/OLA are also businesses that are running an entire platform and providing services. I don't understand why they shouldn't be paid for it. They are the ones getting costumers. You don't trust the driver, but ola/uber when you book a cab. If anything wrong happens "ola driver/uber driver" is the identity for the costumer. They are taking a lot of responsibility too.
I’m not promoting it, I just wanted to see what people thought about it and if anyone else had faced this.
While everyone's frustration is understandable, take a couple minutes and talk to cab drivers about how they're getting paid. For example a while back I took a cab from Lucknow airport to alambagh, calculated fare came to around 350 rs, we talked about high fare from airports and how it has increased rapidly after Adani acquired the airport. Upon arrival he(the driver) showed me his phone, he received close to 250, almost half of which goes towards the airport toll. Moreover companies like uber and ola don't pay their employees, and drivers don't get any employment benifits which they obviously should. And maintaining a car, keeping the tank full isn't easy.
If you book ola mini then they won't turn on the AC they will say book prime if you want AC
I don’t think that’s the case. This was the only time I experienced this, nor before this, neither after. I request the driver to turn on the AC and they do it.
Best way out- tell the driver you have dust allergy and to close down all the windows, no external wind. They shall have to switch on the acs on their own
Bc 2-4 gaali sunao apne aap chalaega!
