Below is the pricing details charged for opting for an Ola cab during peak hours in Bangalore. Is this calculation correct?
- First 4 km:
₹80.0 - Rate for 14.18 km:
₹141.8 - Free ride time (5 min)
₹0.0 - Ride time charge for 97.43 min:
₹97.43 - Peak Pricing charge (1.8x)
₹255.38 - Discount
-₹300.0 - Total tax
₹15.38
Now, taking the discount off for our calculation, the total fare comes to about ₹590 (₹589.85).
Should the Ride charges ₹141.8 be added to the bill when peak hour charges (x1.8) are applied? (I'm effectively paying x2.8 normal fare)
