Cyberabad’s Financial District is always neglected by the State’s public transport – RTC. Often, buses played are very less nor doesn’t play in the required routes. RTC was very late in introducing routes like 195 (Waverock to Bachupally) leaving the ground to autowallas whose business blossomed by the ‘share’ autos. Also, RTC is playing the buses in long routes when IT employees travel short distances. It is also a reason for employees keeping away from public transport.
In this conditions, the introduction of ‘Share Pass’ by Ola pulled the employees towards Ola from Autos/RTC. Normally, Ola or Uber will be in Peak or Surge pricing during the normal commuting hours of IT employees. By purchasing Ola Share Pass, Users can travel with Normal fares even during peak hours.
The cost to travel from Financial District to KPHB, where most of the techies stay, is just around Rs.80. It costs a total of Rs.160 for a to and fro travel. This is very much less than taking a personal car out or travelling by share autos. This Share Pass feature also helped Ola in beating Uber. Though Uber also have Uber Pool similar to Ola Share, it doesn’t have feature like Share Pass which shields users from peak pricing.
