News India Live, Digital Desk: There is a ‘struggle’ common in the life of all of us. Whenever you leave home to go somewhere and have to book a cab, your mind gets confused. First open Ola, check the rate, “Hey, it’s very expensive!” Then open Uber… “It’s taking even more time here!” Then check Rapido.
10-15 minutes are wasted in this process of switching, and many times by the time we come back to the previous app, ‘Surge Pricing’ has been imposed there and the fare has increased. Isn’t it a headache?
But, now technology has solved this also. If you book in a ‘smart’ way, you can save your hard-earned money.
See all prices at one place (Price Comparison)
There are methods now available in the market that do the hard work for you. ‘BuyHatke’ or some similar smart apps now allow you to compare fares of cabs from Ola, Uber and even ONDC network on a single screen.
Just like you check the rates of all the airlines on ‘MakeMyTrip’ or ‘SkyScanner’ while booking a flight, now you can do the same with cabs.
How does it work?
Suppose you have to go from home to office.
- You opened this comparison app.
- Entered your location.
- That’s it, magic! This app will show you a list of how much the Ola person is providing and how much the Uber person is providing for the same journey.
- Book the cheapest and fastest available one immediately.
ONDC is also getting benefit
The special thing is that now ‘ONDC’ (Open Network for Digital Commerce) has also come into the game, where many times cheaper rides are available from big companies. These apps also tell you the rates there.
Save money, be smart!
So next time don’t feel compelled to book an “expensive ride”. Be a little smart, compare the prices and go with pride in the car of the one who charges you the least. After all, saved money is equal to earned money!
