News India Live, Digital Desk: Are you also troubled by the fact that when you are late for office, the cab driver accepts the booking but calls and asks? “Brother, where are you going?” And then.. Ride Cancelled!
Or does a fare of Rs 100 appear to be Rs 300 as soon as four drops of rain fall? we all this Surge Pricing And are fed up with the drivers’ tantrums. But now there is no need to panic, because “good days” are about to come in the world of taxis too.
The news is confirmed that to break this “arbitrariness” of private companies, now Government of India She is entering the field herself. The government may soon launch a new cab booking app of its own, possibly named ‘Bharat Taxi’ (Bharat Taxi) maybe.
Let us understand in simple language how this app will prove to be a boon for us and the cab drivers.
Game Changer Model of “Zero Commission”
The biggest thing is this app “Zero Commission” Will work on the model.
What happens now? When you take a ride of Rs 500 from Ola or Uber, a large part of it (about 25-30%) is kept by the company and the driver gets a cut of the money. That’s why drivers often get angry and cancel rides.
But this will not happen with ‘Bharat Taxi’. If reports are to be believed, the driver may either zero commission Will be charged or negligible fees. i.e:
- Driver happy: Because all his hard earned money will go into his pocket.
- Customer happy: Because when the commission is removed, it will automatically rent cheap Will be done.
On which will this app run? (The ONDC Magic)
This app is the revolutionary platform of the government ONDC (Open Network for Digital Commerce) May be based on. Just as UPI made payments easy, ONDC is democratizing shopping and travel.
Let us tell you that an app like ‘Namma Yatri’ has already become a hit on this model in some cities. The government now wants to bring it on a larger scale and give direct competition to Ola and Uber.
What is the benefit to the riders (us)?
- Cheap Travel: When the middleman (aggregator) does not take huge commission, then obviously your ride will be cheaper.
- No Cancellation: When the drivers get the full amount and the payment goes directly into their account, they will happily take the ride. The headache of ‘where to go’ will reduce.
- Safe and reliable: Due to government monitoring, security arrangements are also expected to be better.
When will the app arrive?
Currently work is going on and after testing it can be launched soon. This step will not only provide relief to the passengers, but will also make lakhs of drivers “self-reliant” who are currently burdened by the heavy commission of big companies.
So friends, if you too are fed up with the tantrums of Ola-Uber, then just wait for a little more. Very soon you will install an app in your phone that will truly be “India’s own”.
