End of Ola and Uber?

Ratan Tata and Mukesh Ambani have joined hands with a start up (BluSmart) to transform India's public transportation system.

BluSmart is India's first electric taxi company. The company's 600+ electric vehicle fleet now runs only in Delhi, NCR. Earlier, taxi rental companies revolutionized the way we commute.

But now, complaints about Uber and Ola's bad customer service are at an all-time high. And we are all sick of their surge pricing and cancellations.

When compared to Ola and Uber, this startup promises to be at least 30% cheaper. The company intends to expand to other Indian cities.

Last year, Tata Motors agreed to supply BluSmart with 3,500 electric vehicles. It has also collaborated with Jio-BP, a joint venture between Reliance Industries and British Petroleum, to build smart charging stations across India.

British Petroleum has invested $13 million in BluSmart, providing the company with the financial strength to compete with Ola and Uber in India.

BluSmart's mission is to provide reliable, zero-ride denials, zero surges, zero emission, affordable and sustainable mobility.


Tailpiece.

Got up a trifle late, the chores and was ready by 10.

A quiet Saturday.

Mithun delivered the grocery we'd ordered before sunset. The sky was overcast most of the day and it rained in the evening.
