What Makes Bharat Taxi Different?
Unlike traditional platforms, Bharat Taxi is a driver-owned initiative backed by the Ministry of Cooperation. Here are the key highlights:
- No Surge Pricing: The platform operates on a flat-fare model, meaning no more price hikes during peak hours or rainy days.
- Driver Ownership: Drivers are stakeholders in the cooperative. Today’s launch event included the distribution of share certificates and ₹5 lakh insurance covers to top-performing drivers.
- Safety First: The app includes a one-tap SOS button, a "Siren" feature for emergencies, and live ride tracking.
- Inclusive Options: Beyond standard cabs and autos, the platform features "Bike Didi" and "Sarathi Didi," empowering over 150 women drivers who have already joined the fleet.
While the official launch took place in Delhi-NCR, the service is already operational in parts of Gujarat. The cooperative aims to expand to every state and major city across India within the next two years.
