To counter the popular aggregator model of car and taxi services, a group of Bengaluru taxi drivers is attempting to introduce metered taxis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bengaluru<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In order to introduce metered taxis in Bengaluru, brand Pride Mobility, which presently runs Nagaraa metered auto rickshaws in the city, is working with taxi drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bengaluru To Introduce Metered Taxis: Check Out The Fares<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drivers who are unhappy with the exorbitant commission charges that cab aggregator apps like Ola and Uber charge are the target of the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Karnataka government imposed a consistent fare restriction on all taxis and cab aggregators in February. These services are now classified according to the cost of the vehicle. The cost for taxis with a value of \u20b910 lakh or less is \u20b9100 for the first 4 km and \u20b924 for each extra mile. The first 4 km will cost \u20b9115 for cars valued between \u20b910 and 15 lakh, and each additional km would cost \u20b928. For taxis that cost more than \u20b915 lakh, the first 4 km will cost \u20b9130, and each more km will cost \u20b932.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the moment, Meru is the only firm offering metered taxis to commuters at airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metered taxis with government-fixed tariffs are being implemented in collaboration with like-minded drivers, according to Niranjanaradhya N, CEO of Brand Pride Mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drivers Unhappy With Commission Scheme?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drivers are unhappy with the commission scheme because they only receive \u20b9400 to \u20b9420 for a ride that costs \u20b9600. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drivers will be able to keep all of their earnings under the metered taxi model, with no commissions deducted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For 200 taxi drivers who want to convert to the metered model, Brand Pride Mobility is purchasing meters in bulk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The metered taxi pilot is presently being tested with car and minicab models, and each meter costs \u20b96000 (plus GST).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is anticipated that Bengaluru’s metered taxis will provide a new choice for both drivers and commuters, possibly increasing driver incomes and lowering passenger fares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
