News India Live, Digital Desk: Are you also troubled by the fact that when you are late for office, the cab driver accepts the booking but calls and asks, “Brother, where are you going?” And then..Ride Cancelled!Or as soon as four drops of rain fall, the fare of Rs 100 starts appearing at Rs 300? We all are fed up with surge pricing and the tantrums of drivers. But now there is no need to panic, because “good days” are about to come in the world of taxis too. The news is sure that now the Government of India itself is entering the field to break this “arbitrariness” of private companies. The government may soon launch a new cab booking app of its own, which could possibly be named ‘Bharat Taxi’. Let us understand in simple language how this app will prove to be a boon for us and the cab drivers. Game changer model of “Zero Commission”. The company takes a cut and gets less money. That’s why the drivers often get angry and cancel the ride. But if the reports are to be believed then either zero commission will be taken from the driver. That is, the driver will be happy because his hard earned money will go into his pocket. The customer will be happy because the fare will be cheaper. On what will this app work? (The ONDC Magic) This app can be based on the government’s revolutionary platform ONDC (Open Network for Digital Commerce), similarly ONDC is democratizing shopping and travel. Let us tell you that an app like ‘Namma Yatri’ has already become a hit in some cities. Now the government wants to give direct competition to Ola and Uber. What is the benefit to the riders (us)? Cheap travel: When the middleman (aggregator) does not take huge commission, then obviously your ride will be cheaper. No cancellation: When the drivers get the full amount and the payment goes directly into their account, they will happily take the ride. The headache of ‘where to go’ will be reduced. Safe and reliable: Due to government monitoring, security arrangements are also expected to be better. When will it come? Currently, work on it is underway and it can be launched soon. This step will not only provide relief to the passengers, but will also make those lakhs of drivers “self-reliant” who are currently burdened by the huge commission of big companies. So friends, if you are also fed up with the tantrums of Ola-Uber, then just wait a little more. Very soon you will install an app in your phone which will truly be “India’s own”.
