I had a conversation today with a Mumbai taxi driver who uses both Ola and Uber Softwares to get his clients. Here’s a few points he made:
- Uber has less business in Mumbai.
-
All payments of Uber are made online and in the bank accounts of drivers at the end of the month. The problem with that is that one needs a steady amount of cash to pay for diesel. Ola in the other hand has customers, 80% of who pay by cash.
Right after this conversation, I received an emailer from Uber announcing Cash payments !
