We tested a new app that allows you to negotiate the cheapest fare from taxi drivers | BISouthAfrica
The InDriver ehailing app allows customers to negotiate fares with metered taxi drivers.You also need to know a bit about what is a fair fare.
Passengers enter the amount they are willing to pay for a trip - drivers then bid on the offer. The trip is confirmed once an agreement is reached between both parties.InDriver's founder Arsen Tomsky launched the app in Russia in 2013, and it has since expanded to other parts of Eastern Europe, as well as Latin America and Tanzania.
According to Moroe, drivers do not get to see how much other drivers are bidding as the process is private.Business Insider South Africa tested the app to see how it works. A first attempt was testing how much a trip from our offices in Auckland Park would cost to Mall of Africa in Midrand.Drivers responded immediately, and after a few minutes we were so overwhelmed that we had to close the app, as more and more drivers accepted the trip.And the many others who accepted minutes shortly thereafter with others offering a higher price.
