Uber Will Now Show Drivers Your Trip Destination To Reduce Cancellations
News 18Uber is finally looking to solve the new-age problem of drivers cancelling rides. “To enhance transparency and remove frustration for riders and drivers, drivers on the Uber platform across India will now be able to see the trip destination before they decide to accept the ride,” Uber said in a statement. The move follows feedback that the ride-hailing app received from its National Driver Advisory Council which was launched in March 2022 to facilitate a two-way dialogue between Uber and drivers across six metro cities to address key issues. After the first meeting of the Driver Advisory Council, Uber introduced several changes which include up to a 15 per cent increase in fares to offset the cost of rising fuel prices. It also added a long-distance pick-up fee to compensate drivers when they travel a long distance to pick up riders and changed payment frequency to all weekdays for drivers to receive online payment transfer etc.
