Rapido starts subscription fee-based model for autos

CHENNAI: Bengaluru-based ride-hailing start-up Rapido has introduced a subscription fee-based model for auto drivers using the platform.

Under this, the drivers could pay a particular amount for using the app instead of paying commission for rides. Auto drivers will have to pay an access fee ranging from Rs 9 to Rs 40 per day, depending upon the city. Drivers in bigger cities will have higher fees, as the earning scope is high. Rapido doesn’t decide the trip charge.
