Ola Share now lets you ride with customers on your route only
Currently, it is possible that you may have to go out of your way in an Ola to pick up another customer under the Ola Share option.
Ola on Monday launched a customised share cab service in Mumbai called Ola Share Express. The new service will make sharing a cab more viable, with cheaper routes and with rides matching only with those customers who are riding on the same route.
The new service has been rolled out on 17 of the most popular routes in Mumbai, including Kharghar to Nariman Point, Borivilli National Park to Bandra, Thane to Ghansoli, and so on. The ride rates will start from Rs 30 onwards.
The Bengaluru-based firm which is lead by Bhavish Aggarwal, has a yearly revenue of $62 million. The new facility will be free from peak hour pricing.
"This means you experience quicker Share rides on the most popular routes across your city, without going out of the way to pick-up co-passengers," the company's blog about the new service said.
