even if you are in their touch.
This third party will have your date forever. And you must know that most
of these third-party vendor hires people with criminal background. They can
use your data for any purpose purpose from intimation to ransom.

ADVANTAGES OF USING OLA
Biggest advantage of Ola/Uber is that it's convenient. Just open the app, set the
destination, book your cab. So simple. My dad himself was not confident enough to
use it at first. After booking 3-4 times himself he got so used to it that now wherever
he goes, he'll book a UBER himself now.
CHEAP*. If you take your normal black and yellow cab and take Uber Go or Ola
Micro the fare difference isn't much. At times it's even cheaper than black and
yellow cabs.
Travel comfortably. When you are paying almost the same amount, why not travel
in an air-conditioned cab.
Choices. Want to travel in style, book SUV or Ola Lux. For those not aware about
Ola Lux, you can book a BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar or any such luxury car for your
travel. Travelling alone, low on budget, book Uber Pool or Ola Share. This one is
sure shot cheaper than your black and yellow cabs.
Revenue to government. Everything is computerized. Billing, payments, etc. So, you
have to pay service tax at any cost.
Employment opportunities. There are so many people who are able to have a side
income by simply appointing a driver to drive their car. And that driver who had no
fix source of income previously, got one.
DISADVANTAGES OF USING OLA
The driver has to be trustworthy which is very rare. It is also difficult to get drivers
if one leaves your job.
Drivers hardly stay at one place for a long time.
More and more cars are getting attached nowadays. This means more availability of
cars and a smaller number of rides for us.
With their highly competitive rates of 6rs/km, sometimes it is difficult to earn
money if the rides are too small.
You have to maintain the driver rating so that your MBG (Minimum Business
Guarantee) does not get affected. This is a disadvantage because drivers tend to
book rides from their own phone and Ola keeps track of everything.
Sometimes the devices do not work properly and we normally have to waste our
time in their offices to make it work again. Their offices are always crowded. Device
malfunction does happen but not very frequently.
