Considering the current state of air pollution and traffic congestion in Delhi, using a shared cab could put more people in fewer cars, reducing the burden on the environment and on our roads. This is why we have targeted the Delhi Metro where every day we have thousands of people travelling to similar locations in separate autos and other modes of transport. Introducing flat rates will effectively encourage them to share rides at affordable, convenient prices and help us create a greener future.” He further added, “Through these special fares, we are also aiming to solve the issues last mile connectivity, which is often a pain point for a lot of daily commuters especially during extreme weather conditions and peak traffic timings.”

Ola Share enables economical fares and reduced congestion, since a ride can be shared by up to four people at any point in time. Now with this new flat rates, the Ola Share experience becomes more affordable than ever. This becomes even more convenient considering that all the metro stations have been enabled with convenient pick up points which a customer can choose from the app for the driver to locate him easily..Customers, who currently have to find a bus or auto after getting off the metro, will now have a completely seamless alternative at their fingertips.
