Rapido, Ola, Namma Yatri and Uber provide autos for commuting, I found ola a bit cheaper than rapido.

In addition to the above suggestions, you can find a regular auto wallah for your route. My colleagues used to do this. But it has its cons

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?

Does Uber India in Bangalore have an office shuttle / cab service for commute to/from work? And if they do, which localities in Bangalore do they have operational routes?

Does anyone know of any auto subscription service in Bangalore? Or know some auto driver personally which can provide regular to and fro service?

I am at my wits end. It takes 20-25 minutes just to get someone to accept my booking only for them to cancel. Almost roz ka hai! Bluesmart mein kabhi slots hi nahi milte! Ola, Uber, Rapido toh 20-25 min tak search hi karta rehta hai. Namma Yatri toh aur bhi hopeless hai! Please koi hack batao 🥲🙏🏻

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

- 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.

We need bike taxi in Bangalore it should legalized instead of ban how many of u agree..?
I say bcs of below reasons
1) unfair price by Auto (noone run on meter)
2) Due to traffic Bike taxi easily take us on time compared to other mode
3)Many poor immigrants or employees easily earn bit more as a part time job.

Bike taxi still using in Bangalore?

29M here. I live in 4km radius of my workplace and have previously enjoyed living in 2km & 180m radius of my workplace in HSR. I’ve been in Bangalore(HSR) for 6+ years and have never needed to own a vehicle(thanks to Ola/Uber/Rapido, BMTC, Bounce, Vogo, Yulu, Drivezy, and a couple of friends). I often walk back from office as time consumed by bus+wait time = walking back home+5mins. Besides busses are a bit unreliable & often too crowded. I used to work in a startup so I had very little free time to venture out & I’ve been very frugal with money even though I have decent income. I’m fully I’ve always lived way under my means like a tech-bro. 🥲

I’m now willing to purchase one for office commute & to enjoy some solo trips as I might get married by next year. I sort of feel not owning a vehicle(preferably car) could be a potential red flag for the girl(&her judgemental parents; AM sucks, lol) but I’m planning to hold off a car as my commute time(&⛽️₹) will increase and buy a working scooty/bike which can sort of ferry me quickly and cheaply to local meet-ups, relatives’ homes for free food/celebrations. I feel I might miss out on crucial contacts, awesome learnings & above all time(the most expensive resource) if I don’t own a reliable 2wheeler.

Two wheeler expectations:
- comfortable city driving; expecting to not ride more than 20km/day(Scooty wins here hands down as I have a decent place to throw in the laptop bag and keep my spine straight)
- okay road trips for maybe once every two months(sports bikes rule here, no gf sadly🥲)
- low servicing overheads(rules out 2nd hand vehicles, as 2nd hand vehicles as they are expected breakdown more frequently & recurring servicing cost) (EVs win here, until🔋😒)
- as low cost of ownership+purchase as possible (basic bikes like Pulsar/Platina could be a good choice, Ather 450 gets booted out as it’s ₹1.6L)
- likely not an EV(coz once a while I’d like to hit the highways & I hate surprises so no Ola)

Please guide me peeps🙏

Which two wheeler should I buy?

Hello guys

Please suggest some good car rental companies in Bangalore with well maintained cars and affordable pricing.

Say your company in Bangalore wants you in office atleast 2 days per week. Does anyone commute to Bangalore every week from their hometown?

For example, Instead of renting an apartment, you book an Airbnb, go to office just for those 2 days and then travel back to your hometown? 

And say, there are selected weeks that you can take WFH for that entire week and you don't have to travel during those days. Is anyone here in this situation?
