The PickMe taxi service has reduced the charge to Rs 68 per kilometer.
“The current slashing of petrol prices by CPC will be passed down to the passenger and we will continue to give value to the driver who works in the gig economy. The authorities have stipulated that the maximum price for tuk tuks have a starting price of Rs. 100 followed by Rs. 80 from the second kilometre. We are able to stay well below the rates of the road tuktuks as our digital platform makes the system efficient as drivers don't have to be plying the roads in search of customers,” says Jiffry Zulfer, CEO of PickMe in a press release.
PickMe’s driver network is continuing to expand. Last year alone the app-based mobility company registered over 40,000 new drivers, the release said.
