Peak Time Charge
Before knowing about OLA’s peak time charge, it is important for you
to
know how OLA works.
OLA’s business model
OLA is an online marketplace for drivers.
These drivers are independent and they are either
self-employed
(own their commercial vehicles), or work for an Operator who owns multiple cars.
Like you have an OLA app on your smart phone to book a cab,
these
drivers have a similar Driver mobile App on their smart phones. We activate the Driver app
after a thorough check of authenticity and conducting due diligence of the commercial &
personal papers of the driver & operator. These drivers decide their own time to login
to
the OLA application and accept requests for rides from customers. They may choose to remain
logged out of the system as per their convenience.
Q: What is OLA’s peak time charge?
OLA peak time charge is a fare-rationalizing rule of using a multiplier X or a flat
surcharge to the standard fares causing the fare to be higher than the standard fare during
certain times the day; i.e. if X is 1.2 during some point of time then the standard fare
will
be multiplied by 1.2 to get the final fare.
Q: Why is there a need to apply a surcharge to my standard fare?
OLA being a marketplace doesn’t control the number of vehicles
online on its system/platform; drivers & operators are independent & work as per
their
convenience. During a normal day when demand & supply are met, there is no need to put
an
extra effort to pull the supply side of vehicles.
OLA has observed that during certain times of the day, when
more
traffic is on road, routine drivers tend to log out of the system to suit their convenience
as
there is no incentive for them to put an extra effort. Similarly, when demand suddenly
increases, not enough drivers might be available on the road. Customers might be
inconvenienced
by not being able to find cabs during such times.
As a system/solutions provider OLA has limited options to
motivate the drivers and cater to the high demand timings & scenarios. OLA has observed
that the drivers are very sensitive to little extra earnings for their extra effort to stay
logged in to our system.
OLA applies an X multiplier or flat surcharge to the normal
fare
based on various situations and scenarios like place of pickup, time of pickup, type of
vehicle, demand situation, supply scenario etc. Using advanced analytics, unique algorithm,
past ride experiences etc. the OLA software calculates an appropriate surcharge to apply
over
and above the normal fare. This enables OLA to come up with appropriate incentives to
drivers
to make them stay logged in to the system for the additional earnings. This enables
customers
to get their much needed service even during peak times when demand for cabs is high.
The peak time surcharge works in two ways
a) It motivates drivers to stay & serve for a longer time even during difficult hours of
the day and when demand is high.
b) It filters out the less needed rides hence making the vehicle available to those who
really
need a cab.
Transparency
OLA is transparent about the rates. OLA makes sure that
customers are aware of the dynamics of peak time charge and how it works. Whenever peak time
charge is applicable; customers get a clear intimation, to confirm their intent to avail the
ride at a higher price than normal. The booking process is initiated only when they confirm;
hence, if a customer wants to avoid that ride he/she may choose to do it, thus making the
cab
available to others who are in need.
