Is it really a fair deal for drivers—or just another expense?
Apps like inDrive and Yango dominate the market, with catchy slogans like:
🟢 inDrive: “Fair Deals”
🔵 Yango: “Better Than a Taxi”
New apps like TXY.CO, SheDrives, Pinkfly, RideCaro, and iRide are entering the game too—but can they compete?
Let’s break it down.
💸 Is Driving Worth the Time & Fuel?
Here’s the truth:
✅ Ride-hailing was meant to help drivers:
Earn extra income
Pick passengers from Point A to B, then move to Point C — easy and efficient.
❌ But now, things are getting unfair:
Companies take high service fees
Drivers pay fuel, maintenance, and waiting time from their own pockets
Riders pay less, while drivers earn the bare minimum
⛽ June 2025 Reality Check
 |
| Fuel Prices on 28 June, 2025 |
Petrol price: Rs. 259.34/Liter
Car fuel average: 10–12 Km/L → not sustainable
Pick-up distance: 3–7 Km (extra fuel, no pay!)
Waiting time: Not paid
Late arrival? Penalty for the driver
On-time arrival? Still not rewarded enough
You drive more, wait more, earn less.
🚦 App Comparison: inDrive vs Yango
🟢 inDrive – “Fair Deals”
- Minimum ride fare: Rs. 150–180 (car), Rs. 75–100 (bike)
- Drivers set their own price (sounds fair, but not always)
🔴 Yango PRO – “Better Than a Taxi?”
- You earn 1 point per ride
Refuse a ride? -2 points
You must complete 5 rides just to make Rs. 850
Sounds fair? Or does it feel like exploitation?
👉 You decide.
🙏 A Message for Customers
If your ride is on time, comfortable, and affordable—thank your driver.
Behind the wheel is a person struggling to earn a living in tough conditions.
Stop blaming drivers for high prices—they don’t control the system.
🇵🇰 What About the Government?
Will the Government of Pakistan take action to protect drivers?
Or will it remain silent while drivers carry the burden?
It’s time for real fairness—for everyone on the road.
