Our Approach

Key Insights / Outcomes

Choice of model for 4W taxis depends on use case - longer term choice in favor of private cabs, chauffeur driven rentals for shorter term, aggregators for single rides.

Popular ride hailing platforms like Ola, Uber mostly operate intracity and major proportion of economy rides indicates price consciousness of customer base.

~35% of aggregator cab users use online modes of payment. This behavior is most prevalent among regular users and those in 35-44 year age group.
