‘App-based rides 30-60% costlier lately’, say Bengalureans

Uber and Rapido didn’t respond to Metrolife. Ola refused to comment. Tanveer Pasha, president of Ola Uber Driver’s and Owner’s Association, said ride aggregators aren’t following the ‘one city, one fare’ structure.

Still, we don't have to deal with Auto drivers attitude and their random pricing.
Ola, Uber, Rapido to the win!

P.s. this is coming from a person who is born and brought in Bengaluru.

Namma Yatri, is a win win for both Driver and Passenger

Yes auto are fine. But i have observed the cabs booked on namma yatri are very poor in cleanliness and looks like very old vehicles which might not allowed by Uber and Ola.

And the cab fare between namma yatri and other ones during non peak periods are 10 or 20 rupees which makes you feel to book Ola or Uber for their decent condition of vehicles.

Apart from parking issue, I can't think of any reason for highly paid techbro to not own a personal car.

Uber has been the worst My daily auto ride to office (very close) used to be 40 bucks earlier. Now it's 70.

I stopped Uber, only Namma Yatri and Rapido now

That's why rapido is better imo but the bike drivers get bullied by Autos and driving a 2 wheeler is generally unsafe in India.

I used to go to office for Rs. 90-100 till last month I think. Last few weeks I am not seeing these prices in Uber at all. It’s never below 150 now. I switched to Namma Yatri and Ola completely.
