Uber Pet Service Launches in Bengaluru- Grapevine

As a cat parent of a 4 year old ginger, I would love to connect with fellow cat parents in the city. P.S. Most of my colleagues and friends are dog people or/ and hate cats, so hoping to find some cat lovers too.

- Bengaluru's auto and taxi drivers are increasingly using Telegram, WhatsApp, and zero-commission apps to counter Ola and Uber's dominance.
- These zero-commission apps, often backed by drivers' unions, are providing stiff competition, leading to longer wait times for users on traditional aggregator platforms.
- Telegram and WhatsApp 'duty groups' help drivers share leads and coordinate trips, ensuring no commission fees and government-fixed fares for passengers.
- Union-backed apps like Namma Yatri and Nagara Metered Auto are gaining traction, offering higher earnings and instant payments to drivers.
- Ola and Uber are attempting to retain drivers through rewards programs, microloans, and potential shifts to subscription models.

Hi All, I am looking to pre-book a monthly cab service for daily office drop & pickup. I remember "Get your ride"used to be there by "Move ln Sync" 2-3 years ago. But it looks like it's shut now. Any other service anyone is using in order to avoid last minute Uber ola stress?
