Ola Launches Ola Share
Taxi hailing service Ola on Tuesday (13th October
2015) launched a new feature called ‘OLA Share’ on its app that will allow its
users in the city to share rides. As an introductory offer the service will be
available at a flat fare of Rs 50, Ola said in a statement. Ola has also
introduced the concept of social groups on its app. Riders can create their
social groups and share the rides with their colleagues for a safe and
comfortable ride. Initially the feature will be rolled out to select users in
Bangalore, will be made available across 5 cities over the next three months.
“A user can join multiple groups or simply choose to
share a ride with anyone. As soon as a user requests a ‘Share’ ride on the Ola
app, they will be matched with other users from their groups along their way,”
OLA said. “This will also contribute towards significant reduction of traffic,
congestion and pollution in our cities,” Ola Share Head Ishan Gupta said. A
maximum of three people can share a cab together via Ola Share. Driver-partners
get an option to log into the Share platform, getting instant access to
increased revenue of up to 50 per cent, through continuous fulfillment of
booking requests, it said.
