Bharat Taxi Gains 45,000 Users Daily
Bharat Taxi is a new app for booking cabs in India.
It's supported by the government and is growing fast, with over 400,000 users already.
The app is easy to use and has features like booking metro tickets and renting cars for up to 12 hours.
It also has safety tools like calling the police or alerting contacts.
The app doesn't charge drivers any commission right now, but there might be a small fee later.
The government hopes this app will help drivers earn more money and provide a good service for passengers.
Some users have noted that the fares do not always appear cheaper than existing platforms, and there are inconsistencies in pricing.
The overall experience still feels like a work in progress, with some features needing fine-tuning.
Bharat Taxi has over 4 lakh registered users, adding 40,000-45,000 daily.
The app is ranked 9th on Google Play and 13th on Apple App Store.
It offers features like police-verified drivers, emergency tools, and vehicle rental.
Initially, no commission is charged from drivers, but a future fee of up to 20% is reported.
The app is part of the government's vision for self-reliance and cooperative growth.
