Has uber/ola/rapido increased prices ?

Now even on namma yatri, for the same distance I now have to pay 20-25 rs extra. And this is same across all the platforms.

- Rapido, the bike-taxi startup, has reached a $1 billion valuation, becoming the latest Indian unicorn after securing $120 million in a Series E funding round led by WestBridge Capital. - The new funding highlights Rapido's growing influence in India's mobility sector, challenging the dominance of Uber and Ola, and aiding Swiggy in its competition against Zomato in the food delivery market. - Rapido's focus on two-wheeler transportation has allowed it to overcome challenges faced by traditional cab services, leveraging the widespread use of motorcycles and scooters in India's congested cities. - Swiggy, which led Rapido's previous funding round, has found a valuable delivery partner in Rapido, enhancing work opportunities for Rapido's drivers and planning to increase its stake post-IPO. - Rapido's latest funding round also saw participation from Khazanah, Malaysia’s sovereign wealth fund, marking it as the third Indian startup to achieve unicorn status this year, following Perfios and Krutrim.

Damn, let me tell you how Ola has messed up the auto rickshaw industry! They came in acting all fancy, promising convenience and fair prices. But what do we get? Overcharging like crazy! Their surge pricing during peak hours is a complete rip-off. They take advantage of our desperation and squeeze every penny out of us. And who suffers the most? The hardworking folks who rely on auto rickshaws every day. But it doesn't stop there. Ola's profiteering tactics have destroyed the earning potential of auto rickshaw drivers. They used to have control over their fares and make a decent living. Now, Ola dictates the prices and leaves the drivers scraping for scraps. It's just not fair! They've disrupted the whole system, and not in a good way. The drivers are struggling, and we passengers are getting ripped off left and right. Ola, you've turned a once reliable and affordable mode of transportation into a nightmare. Shame on you!

what mode of transportation do you guys use?

Auto driver was harassing the person because he took rapido bike for his office. When will this stop in bengaluru why auto drivers consider them as don of Bengaluru?

I was at a friends place and it suddenly started raining heavily. I had to reach my girlfriends place ASAP. She was already very angry that I was not spending enough time with her. The problem was that I was not getting any auto on Uber or Rapido. I stopped an auto and asked it for a ride. He quoted Rs 800 for a 4km ride. I was like, "Are you crazy?" I somehow negotiated it down to Rs. 500. But it made me wonder why is this city like this. Like everyone is trying to scam you. Every one is a grifter, from your landlord to auto wallahs to the cops. Have you faced such things in this city?
