Scumbag Uber waging a price war against rickshaw drivers in India. Disgusting.
I don't see what would the value of even using uber be as a passenger in places with so many rickshaws, surely it's easier to talk to the nearest rickshaw driver than to use your phone and then have to wait for a specific driver...
I guess it would be slightly easier to pay via an app than with cash?
For longer and less common routes it's much easier to book a Rickshaw through the app. Finding a Rickshaw that is willing to go where you want for a reasonable price can be hard. Not all places/rickshaws are willing to follow the Fare meter.
