Surge & higher travel expenses.

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?

Do you think it would work? Would ola and uber forced to implement it? There are offline cabs which charges way higher for airport pickup and drop.

I travel regularly, and today prices are 20 rupees higher for 8 kms on all the apps: Uber, Ola, Namma Yatri, and Rapido.

Uber , AirBnb , SWIGGY, Zomato etc are "Comission" or "Bicholia" Companies. Why do they keep losing money? They should make money even if they are to provide attractive offers to drivers/delivery guys etc Is it because they spent too much "Growing" and its impossible to make the money back? How did this happen.

Swiggy is slowly becoming unusable. They have already increased minimum amount in Instamart for free delivery from 99 to 149 to 199 now. This is really becoming a problem. Is there any other alternative to this? They are slowly showing their true colours now that they are aiming profitability.

throw some light

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?

1 year back all startups were losing money like crazy while all of a sudden everyone from Swiggy to Meesho to Unacademy are profitable or EBITDA positive. Other companies which were profitable earlier have not shown a spike in profit. Were these companies uselessly burning money earlier if they can just suddenly become profitable in 6-8 months

Did anyone observe that surge/demand charges were being charged on blinkit?? I didn't see with Zepto. This happened while I was ordering for the sake of secret santa. Geography - Gurgaon
