E-hailing drivers continue to complain about low fares on the inDrive platform, as the company defends its peer-to-peer pricing negotiation model.
inDrive Pricing Model
InDrive claims their pricing model empowers drivers with the freedom to choose rides that match their expectations and costs, distinguishing them from traditional platforms with fixed rates. This allows drivers to avoid accepting unreasonably low fares.
Drivers' Protests
Drivers have announced a 24-hour boycott, demanding a change in the pricing model. They argue that the platform is only concerned with its commissions and reduces fares to capture market share. Union representatives stress the need for a fair approach to drivers, who are the backbone of the e-hailing industry.
Reaction from Other Platforms and Organizations
The drivers' union also accuses other platforms of unfair pricing tactics, reducing fares to uncompetitive levels to gain an advantage. They insist that lowering prices to harming drivers' welfare is unacceptable.
The conflict between e-hailing drivers and inDrive highlights the tension between platform interests and their driver partners. Drivers continue to demand a fair approach and a review of pricing models.
