There's one other app called Ola, which is horrible, prices fluctuate without notification, they'll autocharge your UPI as they please, customer support is non-existant.
Uber is the best bet and usually people don't have the extra 10-15 minutes to spare, since you're already waiting outside and probably have a time-sensitive task to attend to (that's the norm here btw, if you have something urgent you take a cab otherwise public transport since that's more likely to be delayed).
- MichaelZuo 4y agoPeople in India usually don't book Ubers with some leeway in timing? That sounds really odd. What happens if there's unexpected traffic on the way to your time sensitive destination?
- h4ch1 4y agoYou do, but that usually runs out; as I mentioned in the parent, there's an extended foreplay with the Uber driver that sometimes happens, sometimes is resolved quickly, sometimes takes way too long. You can never really plan for it well.
- 1123581321 4y agoSame thing; if you need 15 minutes of leeway and the trip is 30 minutes, you perceive yourself to be short on time 45 minutes before your appointment.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoIf you mean they're uncomfortable with 15 minutes of leeway as in the rider steps in the car 45 min before their desired arrival time, then it seems trivial to just request the Uber further ahead, next time? I understand it's a bit more difficult if the matched driver gets into an interminable argument beforehand.
