Ola didn't disrupt , it destroyed

congress

Overpaid freshers from t1 colleges who spend 95% of time on LinkedIn clout , all the managers and infamously the founders. Also add in the marketing budget which can equal the companies evaluation itself

The whole post is about how ola made these auto drivers arrogant. You can ask any person pre COVID that auto were actually based on meter

Nope Auto drivers have been arrogant for years. I remember in 2014 auto divers asking 200 for 1-2 kms

I've experienced the same and always wondered if this behaviour is only towards people from north/non-kannada speaking population or in general.

Exactly. Disagree with this post - they would lose control over the fares only if they're EVEN ACCEPTING the Ola rides in the first place. THEY NEVER ACCEPT. The person who wrote the post is positioning it as if the auto drivers have dependency on Ola/ Uber. They reject rides without a second or hesitation. The passenger is never able to get an auto at the Ola rate, and if anything, the passengers are suffering because of this.

Banglore autos have ola only mostly. After the rapido controversy to some extent namma metro

What rapido controversy?

I mean why would they. They can easily quote 200 rs for 2 km , every auto same case , political backing and a misplaced language vector some reasons

Very true, but how is that no one and I include Karnataka government, central too looking into this unusual spike from a specific city

It is the same , plus Uber charges extra for iOS users from what I've heard

but as compared to ola and rapido prices hike is minimal on daily basis

Oh I didn't know that , maybe your location was a factor ig.

Ola is the reason for the auto over quoting read the post. I believe your a manager by the way you commented before reading the post

Haha, bruh.. not even close.. I'm just starting out. But I have seen my parents haggling with auto drivers and how willing they are for exploiting when the passenger is desparate in the pre aggregator days. Ola is not the reason for auto over quoting, it is their greed. It always has been.

Banglore used to be like Mumbai Pre OLA time.

Where are based? Rickshaws are the least regulated space. Find a auto which actually charges the legal meter amount in banglore you will find the truth.

That doesn't matter. There are limited permits that are allotted every year to be able to drive an auto in Bangalore, the price is regulated and there's no surge pricing in autos (afaik).

Rules not being followed is a very different argument. I know the meter isn't followed, but that's an enforcement issue. The customer protections are "in place". You can't be blaming private players here.
