Ola Bikes Stopped?

Why are ola and uber not bringing back the ridesharing/ carpooling option in their app ? Does anyone know ?

I tried Ola ebike service for commuting a short distance ~ 5km. The experience was good and the fare was also cheap(50 Rs.). I spoke to the driver about earnings and whether he has to give EMI for the OE bike. Then he showed me the below table - how his earnings are calculated. I got shocked at seeing the high earnings amount - upto 4.5K daily which amounts to 1.35 lac monthly! He told me that Ola ebike is for short distances only - Upto 7-8 kms. And he is able to get average 3-4 rides in 1 hour, and he also doesn't have to pay for the vehicle rent. The Charging is also free at Ola Chargers. I couldn't help but wonder how can Ola sustain with this much spending. If they're giving upto 1lac to every driver and charging the user very less, that's a lot of cash burn.

Tried ordering from ola foods, payment done, order got accepted, it's been 2hrs didn't receive the food even the restaurant is not picking up the call. There's no customer care number for ola foods. Do they expect us to mail them & then within 48 hours they will look into the matter.

I am at my wits end. It takes 20-25 minutes just to get someone to accept my booking only for them to cancel. Almost roz ka hai! Bluesmart mein kabhi slots hi nahi milte! Ola, Uber, Rapido toh 20-25 min tak search hi karta rehta hai. Namma Yatri toh aur bhi hopeless hai! Please koi hack batao 🥲🙏🏻

I remember there was a time I’d book a ride both on Uber and Ola, there was not so much to separate them. Ola is messed up now. Extremely poor app (vs Uber), longer waiting times, higher fares I know they’re focusing a lot on Ola Electric, but how does a company screw over their core business this way Is this similar for everyone? Anybody who knows what the strategy Ola now is?

Saw this on Twitter today. Tech Mahindra hiring graduates for 3.25 LPA and 24*7 Shift timing. I talked to various people to get an idea of their pay. A) A plumber lives near my house. He said he earns 2-3k daily and works for 20-25 days average. He earns 50-60k per month. B) Electrician earns in the same range. And other technicians and workers like this who are skilled earn a lot more than a software engineer. This is the hard reality. Students study for 16 years and pay 15-20 lacs college fees for this.
