First of all, OLA says on its twitter handle that the peak time is Mon-Fri between 7am to 10am and 4pm to 7pm.
I had booked a cab for just 14.7 km ride at 2:27pm today and I was charged Rs. 754/- which seems to be almost equal to my Kerala train ticket. The only mistake was by my wife that she didn't read that we will be charged a 3.0x peak time charge for the ride as she was in hurry, had to rush for train. I mean who charges a 3 times rate for a afternoon ride where people hardly travel. These all are OLA's tricks of making money saying "we want to encourage more drivers to login to the Ola app and be available for bookings". Also the driver said I will take you through a shortcut as if he is knowing all the routes and actually took a way long route. And finally giving the most common stupid reason saying, "Sir I am new here in Pune." It means I was an to show him the correct route. This was my just second ride from OLA one from my account and this one from my wife's account, and its never gonna be OLA again.
Good bye OLA.
