11 Learning’s from the Ola Cabs Price Revision

          The Inspiration to today’s Post is this mail from www.olacabs.com to its registered users:

The mail is quoted ad verbatim :::

Quote
Prices Revised!
At Ola, our aim has been to provide easy, accessible and affordable transport solutions to the widest number of people. One of the ways we do so is by redefining our pricing structure in order to offer a simpler and more transparent pricing structure that benefits the maximum number of people. With that intention, we have revised our fares. Now, you don't need to hesitate to take an Ola even for shorter distances.

THEN
NOW
Mini
Rs 100/ 6 kms
Rs 80/ 4 kms
Sedan
Rs 150/ 8 kms
Rs 100/ 4 kms


With this update, we have also done away with waiting charges. You will now be billed for Ride Time @ Re.1/min, starting from your pickup time. Ride time calculations will kick-in only after the driver has reached your pickup point. If the driver is late you will not be billed for the delay. First five minutes of your ride time are free.
So, take an Ola wherever you go. After all, a ride is always around the corner.

01)  ‘The customer is king’ part is over. The seller has become the king.

02) Nothing in this world is free. Premium has to be paid by the late adapters to a technology.

03) Read mails carefully from eCommerce Companies.

04) Understand the power of differential pricing. For eg, different rates apply to Ola customers in different cities.

05) Join User groups to receive quick updates on changes to Most Important Terms and Conditions.

07) Be prepared of new techniques to lighten your wallet.

08) Wherever you are utilising the service of eCommerce companies, seek clarification from your company’s administrative department that all charges levied by eCommerce companies will be reimbursed.

09) Petition the authorities wherever you feel that the unfair charges are being levied with appropriate evidence.

10)  Learn to accept change.


11)  Do not get addicted to eCommerce companies.
