Government Cab Service / The government will also introduce taxi service like Ola-Uber, they will be sweating!

Government Cab Service: The cab service market in India is growing rapidly. Taxi service companies like Ola-Uber have established their dominance in this sector. But now the government is also going to step into this field. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has recently announced that the government is planning to launch a new taxi service based on a cooperative model. The aim of this government cab service is to give more benefits to the drivers and provide affordable services to the consumers.

How will the government taxi service be?

This cooperative-run taxi service proposed by the government is being prepared to give tough competition to private companies like Ola and Uber. The main goal of this service is to give more benefits and empowerment to the drivers. At present, cab aggregators charge huge commission amounts from the drivers, which limits their income. But in this new model, the drivers will get profits directly and they will not have to pay heavy commission to any private company.

Drivers will have fun, opportunity to earn more

• Amit Shah said that the biggest benefit of this cooperative cab service will be to taxi drivers:
• Less commission cut: Platforms like Ola and Uber charge 20-30% commission from drivers, whereas in the government cooperative model it will be much less.
• Better insurance and security: Drivers will get more social security, such as facilities like health insurance, accident insurance and pension.
• Direct share in dividend: In the government cooperative model, a part of the profits will be given to the drivers, which will increase their income.

Ola-Uber will get tough competition

Companies like Ola and Uber have maintained their strong hold in the Indian market, but they have often faced many controversies. Customers are often upset with increased fares and surge pricing. Drivers have been constantly complaining about low commission and unfair treatment. Questions have also been raised many times regarding the quality of service. The arrival of the new cab service of the government will pose a big challenge to these companies as this service can provide cheaper fares, more transparency and better economic opportunities for drivers.

How will it be operated?

This new cab service will be run under the cooperative model, that is, the drivers themselves will be its owners. This service will be under government control and will not depend on any private aggregator. The government is planning to run this scheme through a digital platform, which will allow consumers to easily book taxis. This will also benefit consumers. There will be no hidden charges due to cheap fare and transparent pricing.

They will sweat

This new taxi service being brought by the government can give tough competition to companies like Ola-Uber. It will not only be beneficial for the drivers, but will also provide more reliable and affordable service to the consumers. In the coming times, it will be interesting to see to what extent this government cooperative model is able to change the Indian cab industry.
