It appears that after Ola & Uber, Bengaluru’s homegrown mobility app, Namma Yatri, has now entered the game in the app-based taxi booking market.
Cab Drivers Earning More Money
Recently, it was in reports when it launched cab services in the tech capital.
It seems like a game changer as this app helped cab drivers earn ₹5.4 crore within a month of launching the services in Bengaluru, as per the media report.
Further declaring that the cab drivers are making ₹800 higher than what they used to earn per day earlier by registering themselves in Namma Yatri.
Basically, this app runs on a zero-commission model.
In that the commission is not collected but a subscription charge, this saves 25-30% of daily earnings for drivers.
Last month alone, a total of 1.75 lakh trips were completed and it also has 6500 to 7500 users who are commuting using Namma Yatri daily.
How Did This Happen?
“The transparent payment method where the driver gets money immediately after the customer pays is drawing the driver’s trust on the app. Namma Yatri is giving a comfortable and hassle-free experience to both drivers and passengers, and the growth is the result of it,” said the spokesperson of Namma Yatri in a statement.
At present, Namma Yatri is offering non-AC minis, AC minis, and Sedan and XL cabs in its fleet.
They have introduced the new Non-AC mini cabs as there were frequent misunderstandings between drivers and customers regarding AC usage.
Further, the service provider has set clear service expectations and competitive pricing for budget-conscious customers while promoting eco-friendly rides, according to Namma Yatri.
Their cabs also accommodate special requests such ad disability-friendly rides, extra luggage, traveling with pets, and trips to public transport hubs.
They have taken a total of 25,000 cab drivers on board about a month ago.
