Uber auto fare is almost double this weekend- Grapevine

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Am I the only one or anyone else is also paying 2x to uber these days?

Product Manager

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

Has uber/ola/rapido increased prices ?

Senior Software Engineer

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.

Is it just me, or Auto fare has increased a lot on all app?

Product Head

Does anyone feel like domestic flight rates increased 1.6x -2x for 2024?

what's the reason for this surge even when there are no long weekends?

Any tricks to get back to old prices atleast at 1.3x?

Utterly dumb decision, will just increase cars on the road. How do they even come up with such stuff?

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!

Ola didn't disrupt , it destroyed

Auto drivers are suffering, riders are suffering, company is in losses, shareholders are suffering. Who is winning ? Lol

This will be big! No more surge pricing now

Transport department has announced a uniform fare structure for all cabs, including those operated by Ola and Uber, by categorising vehicles into three classes based on the cost of the vehicle.

Imagine how bad the current ride hailing experience have to be that Shoffr had to literally mention -  "Our chauffeurs are friendly, don’t talk on the phone, and are incentivised on good behaviour"

Anyone in BLR who have used Shoffr? Apart from the old ways of taxi service (pre ola/Uber) era, what sets Shoffr apart?

Also how affordable is Shoffr?

A decent burger or Small pizza on Zomato is Rs 300+; A coffee at Starbucks is now 450; Movie tickets are 400; the average cost of a weekend drinks and dinner with friends is above 2K; Lets not even talk about how expensive rent is right now. It feels like the cost of everything is just rising and salaries are not growing fast enough to make up for the rising costs

A rant: Things have become way too expensive

- Moving Tech Innovations Ltd, the firm behind Namma Yatri, raised $11 million in a pre-Series A funding round led by Blume Ventures and Antler, with participation from Google.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I interviewed with Uber in Jan 2023, cleared all the rounds but they did not released the offer till march, so I lost hope and moved ahead. Fast forward, they reach out in Feb this year as they are hiring aggressively now. Received the offer letter based on last year interview rounds. 
Right now I’m working for a MNC as SDE 2(~5 YOE) and I’m not sure weather to join it or not. Uber is offering SE-2 for a fintech team. 

Other points:
1) cash component is 40% higher than my current org. This excludes the RSUs which Uber provides
2) various additonal perks which Uber provides like free food, wellness , insurance etc
3) WLB is great right now, not sure about it in Uber
4) Frequent Layoffs in Uber

Folks working in Uber, how is the wlb and layoffs scenario here.  Would you recommend joining?

Join Uber or not?

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.

Engineering Manager

I'm a 28-year-old married (Wife is also working) individual currently residing in Kolkata, where the living expenses are relatively low. I have 5 years of work experience, and my current compensation package is 28 lakhs fixed and 3 lakhs variable (approximately 1.95 lakhs in-hand salary after deductions). With no liabilities or responsibilities, my monthly expenses are around 40,000 INR, and I manage to invest around 1.5 lakhs per month.

Currently, I enjoy a stable job and live with my parents, who take care of most of my living expenses. However, I'm considering the possibility of switching jobs and moving to another city, which would require me to bear the additional costs of rent, food, and other living expenses on my own.

Question: Given my current financial situation and the potential for increased living costs in a new city, should I explore a job switch and relocation? Or should I continue with my current stable job and living arrangement in Kolkata, where my expenses are minimal? What factors should I consider when making this decision?

Should I switch and move to bangalore

Nah stay there only. Why relocate to Bangalore If you are earning a decent amount and living with your family happily.

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?
