Ola Uber’s arbitrariness will no longer work, Bharat Taxi is coming, know what will change from January 1?

News India Live, Digital Desk: We all have gone through this situation at some point or the other: getting late for office, trying to book a cab, and freaking out after seeing the fare on the screen. Rs 600 for a Rs 200 ride? This is called ‘surge pricing’, and we are forced to pay it. Another problem is the driver canceling the ride. “Brother, where is the drop from?” Hearing this question, the heartbeat increases in case someone refuses. But now the good news is that a new app is going to hit the market, the purpose of which is to eliminate these problems. The name is Bharat Taxi. If you are also fed up of the taxi’s noise, then the coming date is bringing relief for you. Starting in Delhi from January 1, 2026. According to the news, Bharat Taxi app is being officially launched on January 1, 2026. It will start from the country’s capital New Delhi. It is being launched as a pilot project. If everything goes according to plan, then soon this app will be seen competing with Ola-Uber in other cities of the country. Why is this app different from the rest? (Game Changer Features)This app is not just another booking app, but the way it works is very different from the others.1. Zero/Low Commission: Ola and Uber keep a major part of the driver’s earnings (about 25-30%) for themselves. That’s why drivers cancel short distance rides because they don’t have much to spare. The commission in ‘Bharat Taxi’ will be negligible. That means your payment goes directly into the driver’s pocket. When the driver earns more, he will happily accept your ride.2. The tension of surge pricing ends, the biggest fear – ‘peak hours’. Be it rain or time to leave office, private apps double-triple the fare. But in ‘Bharat Taxi’ the fare will be fixed as per the government rates only. Meaning, whether it is day or night, there will be no extra burden on your pocket.3. Government and Cooperative Trust: This app will be operated by Sahakar Taxi (in collaboration with cooperative societies like NCCF). The support of the government in this means that security and rules will be strictly followed. Any irregularities will be heard soon. Drivers are also happy. Reports say that thousands of drivers have joined this platform even before the launch. Driver unions are also supporting this because they are getting a chance to work like an ‘owner’ and not like an employee bound by company rules. My opinion for you is, competition is always beneficial for us customers. When there will be a third strong option in the market other than Ola-Uber, everyone will be forced to improve their service. So this New Year, make some space in your phone. Please download ‘Bharat Taxi’ on 1st January and take a trial. Who knows, your daily taxi hassles may end forever!
