Feeling the heat, Bykea also introduces ‘bargain’ feature

0

Nov 15(ABC): Bykea, the local ride-hailing tech startup, seems to have capitulated to the competition and has added a bidding feature in its app as it seeks to offer “competitive fares” to its customers.

The bidding functionality that allows customers to determine fare before commencing the ride, had been originally introduced in Pakistan by another ride-sharing application, inDrive, to espouse the spirit of bargaining.

Since its introduction in the Pakistani ride-hailing industry just a year ago, inDrive has capitalized on the services scale back of Uber and Careem and quickly capture a large segment of the market.
