Ola launches zero commission model nationwide; drivers will now retain 100% of earnings

  • Ola has introduced a zero-commission model nationwide, allowing cab drivers to retain 100% of their fare earnings.
  • Drivers can opt for a subscription-based model with a 30-day pass for Rs 2,010 or daily at Rs 67.
  • The new policy aims to empower driver-partners by providing them complete control of their earnings.
  • Namma Yatri had earlier pioneered a similar subscription-based model in 2023.
  • Rapido, Ola's rival, is already following a zero-commission model with a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) approach.
  • Uber also shifted to a subscription-based model for two and three-wheelers.
  • Driver complaints regarding high commission charges led to these companies revising their business models.
  • The Telangana Gig & Platform Workers Union (TGPWU) initiated a boycott campaign against high commissions.
  • Public criticism and boycotts influenced the government to announce plans for the 'Sahkar Taxi' ride-hailing service.
  • The shift in business models aims to address concerns raised by drivers and maintain competitiveness in the market.
