If my travel distance is between 1 to 8 KM’s and I am looking at Micro vehicles only, which option
will be the cheapest?

RESPOSE-

As per the case study ola and TFS offering lv the micro type, here TFS offering rs 35 for less then 4km

But after that its chargers are higher then ola. I will check TFS micro cabs because the minimum bill
required is less than other. Also the wait time is nill for ride and the charges are based on ride per
minute i.e 1.5rs. Since the Uber do not have the micro cab option, so if i am travelling for 1-8 kms i
will definitely look for TFS micro cabs.

2. If my travel distance is between 1 to 10 KM’s, which Mini vehicles is/are the cheapest option?

All the three taxi aggregators have option for mini taxi. We clearly see that Uber is the cheapest car for the
distance range and also seem to be the cheapest option for distances beyond 10 km looking at the trend.

3. If the Aggregator Ola gives me a free upgrade from Micro to Mini, and the other option for me to
travel is Uber mini, will it be cheaper for a distance between 2-6 KM’s and Explain how?

There is common scenario of free upgrade in ola from Micro to Mini. So, this is a very relevant
question to ask. The trend looks to be very interesting. Uber Go starts at a slightly lower rate
than Ola Micro but Ola takes over after 5 km distance. So, again our answer will be cannot be
determined in the distance range. However, it is interesting to notice that a Ola micro taxi comes out
to be more expensive than Uber mini car for shorter than 5 km distance.

4. It's Peak time and every aggregator is charging a Peak hour charge; Uber (UberX) is charging a
multiplier of 2.1 and Ola (Ola Prime) is charging a multiplier of 1.4 on their Sedan Vehicles. Which
one will cost less and why?

Multipliers are often added in peak traffic hours. It becomes very difficult to compare rates in such
cases. Here’s one of those scenarios. Ola is generally more expensive compared to Uber, but in such
extreme multiplier cases, we see that Ola comes out to be cheaper option throughout.

5. I have already booked UberGo for a multiplier of 1.5 and now I am getting an Ola Mini vehicle
without peak charges? If I cancel the Uber I will incur a cancellation charge penalty. However, if I
choose to cancel, I stand a chance to save on peak charges for Uber. At what distance will I break
even on the cancellation charges on Uber, in case I choose to go ahead with Ola?

As can be seen from both table and the graph, the break even only happens between 13-14 kms.
Hence, you should make a switch only if you want to travel more than 13 kms.
