And whatever is more than that has to come back to you,&#8221; he said, adding that three major aggregators had told him they had not set any minimum base rate.He announced a dedicated &#8216;Saarathi Didi&#8217; feature, allowing women travelling alone to prioritise female drivers. Launched earlier this month, Bharat Taxi operates in NCR and Rajkot and aims to expand to every city with a civic body. Shah said it would follow the Amul model, with 85% of profits going back to producers. Drivers can become co-owners by purchasing a Rs 500 share, with board seats reserved for driver representatives as membership grows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW DELHI: Cooperation minister Amit Shah on Monday assured a minimum base fare to cab drivers enrolled on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":307424,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[154475,154474,220,154478,154477,619,85,207,616,617,46,154476,321,125,618],"class_list":{"0":"post-307423","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-amit-shah","9":"tag-bharat-taxi","10":"tag-breaking-news","11":"tag-cab-drivers-earnings-in-india","12":"tag-cooperative-taxi-aggregator-model","13":"tag-google-news","14":"tag-il","15":"tag-india","16":"tag-india-news","17":"tag-india-news-today","18":"tag-israel","19":"tag-minimum-base-fare-for-cab-drivers","20":"tag-mobile","21":"tag-technology","22":"tag-today-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=307423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/307424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=307423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=307423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=307423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
