New Delhi, February 19, 2025: Uber has introduced a zero-commission model for autorickshaw drivers in India, replacing it with a subscription-based system. This change allows drivers to retain their full earnings per trip while Uber provides fare suggestions, giving both drivers and riders flexibility in finalizing the fare. The initiative aims to address driver concerns over high commission fees, which have led to protests in the past.
By adopting this model, Uber aligns itself with competitors like Rapido and Namma Yatri, which have successfully implemented similar systems. These platforms charge a fixed subscription fee instead of per-ride commissions, making them more driver-friendly. Uber’s move reflects its strategy to stay competitive in India’s evolving ride-hailing market while improving support for its driver community.
