Nice fantasy, but who pays for the platform's costs? Ola and Uber spend crores on app maintenance, support, fraud prevention, GPS tracking, legal battles, and incentives. Without high commissions, who funds this?

Why not rethink the entire model? Let ride-hailing apps earn from ads, subscriptions, and partnerships (restaurants, malls, petrol stations). It works for Google, why not for mobility?

I have a better suggestion for charging 99rs for cab and 49 for bike as fee per 10 days. and cross selling more valuable packs like 249 for one month cab instead of 99 for 10 days. It will increase revenues for both .

Sounds good, but would drivers even accept rides if they don’t get incentives? Right now, surge pricing motivates drivers. If they don’t get that, wouldn’t we all go back to fighting for autos like in 2010

may be but your third point get offended to customer see the ad

That's exactly what Namma Yatri does.

NammaYatri operates in Bangalore as an alternative to Uber and Ola. Unlike traditional ride-hailing apps, it follows a subscription-based model, charging drivers a monthly fee instead of commissions per ride. This approach aims to provide a more sustainable earning structure for drivers while offering affordable transportation options to passengers.

had worked on similar idea. ask the driver for pre-pay/daily subscription of 30rs and no extra charges. Model is good. Can join your idea if you are looking for co-founder.

work for some app based tech company then you will understand.... why they they are charging

namma yatri model is a subscription model, it's platform is open source and you can see the whole real time data. where driver pays so he gets booking, rapido came to subscription model.

Yes it would, similar model Namma Yaatri an app made in Bangalore is working on! It just went viral!! Guess this is untapped for tier 2 and 3 cities must work

I think Rapido uses this. They don’t take a cut from drivers but charge them a monthly fee or so.

i think rapido is doing the same

good thought even I have also an Idea which I want to implement but I need investors
