Uber will make changes to smooth things for riders and drivers in India

Uber
  • Uber India rolling out an update that allows drivers to view drop-off locations before a rider requests a ride.
  • An update will also increase driver compensation by 15%.
  • This follows the company’s recent rate increase in response to increased gasoline costs in New Delhi, the capital of India.
  • Drivers will be compensated if they must go a significant distance to pick up a user.
  • Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Hyderabad, and Bangalore airports’ operational expenses for using airports will also be handled by Uber.

Uber India may, at last, have a solution for the annoying rider whose drivers frequently cancel on them. Uber India has decided to provide an update that prevents users from having their driver canceled by allowing drivers to view the drop-off location beforehand. It was only applicable to 20 places during testing as an experimental measure to determine its effectiveness. This feature is currently being introduced across the subcontinent, which should aid the US-based taxi aggregator in resolving a key issue.

Notably, Uber India has also increased driver compensation by 15%. After asking a passenger where they would want to be dropped off, taxi drivers regularly delay trips. This action follows the company’s recent rate increase in response to increased gasoline costs in New Delhi, the capital of India.

A fresh company update has been making the rounds. When requesting a vehicle, the update will assist riders in selecting the ideal driver. The new Uber function allows drivers to accept or decline a trip request based on the drop-off location that is displayed to them when they are close to the user’s location. This is one of the adjustments Uber India is implementing to make things easier for customers, drivers, and riders, as well as to improve the entire experience.
