Bharat Taxi App Launched to Compete with Ola and Uber

The Union Ministry of Cooperation has launched the Bharat Taxi app, offering services similar to Ola and Uber but without charging drivers any commission. Instead, drivers will pay a daily app maintenance fee of ₹30.

The app allows booking of bikes, auto-rickshaws, and cars for local, outstation, and round trips. It is expected to offer fares up to 30% lower than existing platforms. Built-in safety features, verified drivers, and dedicated helpline support are included.

After a successful pilot in Delhi and Gujarat, the app will expand nationwide within two years.
