At Rs. 6 per kilometer, this will be the most pocket friendly mode of intra-city cab travel, enabling users to take their first AC cab ride with Ola. We are already seeing overwhelming demand from fast growing Chandigarh market, and it holds tremendous potential to grow as Metro of tomorrow. As an Indian brand, we recognize the need for an innovative, low cost offering like Micro and we believe this will be a significant step towards our mission of building mobility for a billion Indians.”
Ola Micro’s unprecedented growth stems from the need for low cost, affordable mobility options in our cities. Ola Micro alone, in its first 3 weeks since launch, crossed the daily bookings that Ola as a platform did in 3 years and is estimated to be well over 50% the size of competition in such a short span of time.
