@ap00rv I got it, of course. That was a response to @rungta’s comment.

@rungta If the fare revision has happened later, the TTE might still collect it from you. @ap00rv

@Paytmcare Guys, Order #822650917 says that money has been refunded to Paytm Cash. I don’t see it?! How long will this take?

@lokallobaat Min payment is an incorrect phrase naa. Most drivers don’t operate for 12 hours each day. Many prefer “flexible” timings.

@lokallobaat @DilliBelle On similar lines “Surge Pricing” is an incentive for them. All tactics to keep the supply up.

@lokallobaat How updated are you on this? Earlier the thekedaar thing was there, but from experience I see indie drivers taking on.

@lokallobaat @DilliBelle It’s not a salary — it’s a conditional pay (incentive) which is paid. Ola also does the same.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to lokallobaat from Siri Fort, New Delhi

@DilliBelle Many drivers work with both Uber and Ola. Some have figured that sticking with one brings peace of mind.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to DilliBelle from Siri Fort, New Delhi

@DilliBelle I have questioned enough Uber / Ola drivers to be sure about this. I could be wrong, but very unlikely.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to DilliBelle from Siri Fort, New Delhi

@DilliBelle Yes I know they were being paid during the Uber shut down. That wasn’t a salary, but a temporary compensation to hold them on.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to DilliBelle from Siri Fort, New Delhi

@DilliBelle Huh? No. Drivers are independent partners with Uber (unless a thekedar has hired them — rare). Most drivers own their own cars.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to DilliBelle from Siri Fort, New Delhi

@DilliBelle Their pricing is unsustainably low. Surge helps drivers make money — and also a carrot to make the drivers stick with them.
