Uber ditches commissions in favor of daily fees for rickshaw drivers in India


Uber has introduced daily fees for auto rickshaw drivers in India to move away from its typical commission-based model.

Uber is moving away from its commission-based model for three-wheeled auto rickshaw drivers in India in response to increased competition from local rivals Rapido and Namma Yatri. However, Uber continues to experiment with different models in more traditional ride-hailing, including a flexible pricing service in over a dozen Indian cities and concurrent rides to stay competitive in the world’s most populous market. Today, Uber faces stiff competition from the likes of SoftBank-backed Ola, WestBridge Capital and Nexus Venture Partners-backed Rapido, and Google-invested Namma Yatri, as well as various independent auto rickshaws and taxi drivers.
