Bharat Taxi: Bharat Taxi has come to take on Ola, Uber, and Rapido, the cab services that operate in major cities and urban areas. Right now, this taxi service is available in Delhi and Gujarat, but it will soon expand across the country. Let’s dive into what Bharat Taxi is all about and how it benefits both drivers and passengers.
What is Bharat Taxi?
It’s India’s first cooperative taxi service, launched in collaboration with the Union Government’s Ministry of Cooperation and the National e-Governance Division. The platform runs through a multi-state cooperative, where drivers and Sarathi members are stakeholders, directly involved in profit sharing, losses, and policy decisions.
How does Bharat Taxi work?
The Bharat Taxi app provides GPS-based rides, just like Ola and Uber. It includes features such as real-time tracking, fare display, SOS, trip sharing, UPI/card payments, and a multilingual interface. The main difference from other apps is that instead of taking a cut from each ride, drivers pay a small membership/subscription fee and keep all the fare.
How will passengers benefit?
The app focuses on features like trip tracking, police integration, and an SOS button, along with 24/7 support and dispute resolution. Plus, it won’t show inflated fares based on frequent searches. Fares will stay consistent.
How to do Driver Registration in Bharat Taxi?
First, download the Bharat Taxi Driver app from the Google Play Store and register using your mobile number via OTP. Then, upload the necessary documents: a driving license and vehicle registration certificate are required, while permits, insurance, fitness certificates, and PUC are optional. Once your documents are verified, you can start getting ride requests.
