Say Goodbye to Fare Hikes: Bharat Taxi Enters Market With Transparent Pricing Model

New Delhi: There is big news for those who book cabs. Now a new ride-hailing service ‘Bharat Taxi’ has come into the market, which is claiming to directly challenge the expensive surge pricing and high fares. The objective of this new service is clear, to provide fixed and transparent fares to the passengers and to give the drivers an opportunity to earn more. 

What exactly is ‘Bharat Taxi’?

Bharat Taxi is an app-based cab service, just like how people book cabs every day. The only difference is that it will work on cooperative model. That means drivers will not just be partners, but part of the system. This is an attempt to pass the benefits directly to the drivers and customers instead of the company.

How will it be different from Ola-Uber?

Till now, people often complain that the fare suddenly doubles or triples during rain, traffic or peak time. This is called surge pricing. There will be no surge pricing in Bharat Taxi. The fare will be fixed in advance, so that the passengers will not be shocked by the sudden increase in the bill. This is what makes it different from Ola Cabs and Uber.

Who launched it and where did the service start?

This service was officially launched by Amit Shah in New Delhi. At present it has been started from Delhi-NCR. There are plans to extend it to other cities also in the coming time.

What benefits will passengers and drivers get?

The biggest advantage for passengers is fixed fares and reliable service. At the same time, drivers will not have to face much commission cut, which can improve their earnings. This is also expected to reduce problems like ride cancellations and fights.

What is expected next?

If Bharat Taxi lives up to its promises, it can bring a big change in the cab market of the country. It is expected that people will adopt it rapidly due to cheap and stable prices. Its real impact will be seen in the coming months as to how tough it can give competition to the big players.

This initiative is relief news for those who depend on cabs every day and get frustrated with the rising fares every time.
