Uber Shifts to SaaS Model for Drivers, Introduces Cash-Only Rides
Uber has made a significant shift in the ride-hailing industry by adopting a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) subscription-based model for auto drivers, moving away from its traditional commission-based structure. Effective February 18, this change eliminates trip-level commissions, allowing Uber to function purely as a platform that connects riders with nearby drivers while giving drivers complete independence. All auto rides will now be cash-only, with no cancellation fees, and although Uber will suggest fares, the final price will be decided by the driver. This transition aligns Uber with other ride-hailing platforms like Rapido, reflecting a broader industry trend toward empowering drivers and giving them greater control over their earnings. By removing commission deductions, Uber aims to create a more driver-friendly ecosystem while maintaining convenience for riders, marking a major evolution in the ride-hailing business model.
