Cooperative model offers cheaper fares by removing per-ride commissions

Delhi’s transport landscape is witnessing a major shift today with the official debut of Bharat Taxi launch. This government-backed cooperative platform aims to disrupt the dominance of private aggregators by prioritizing both drivers and passengers. Union Minister of Cooperation, Amit Shah, is set to inaugurate the service in the national capital, marking a new chapter for the zero commission cab app sector.

Unlike traditional platforms like Ola or Uber, Bharat Taxi operates under Sahakar Taxi Cooperative Limited. This entity is managed by professionals with experience from the iconic Amul brand. The core philosophy here is to move away from the corporate-heavy model and toward a driver owned taxi app India can rely on. Instead of losing a massive chunk of their earnings to per-trip commissions, drivers—referred to as 'Sarathis'—will pay a flat daily fee of only Rs 30.

For commuters, the Bharat Taxi Delhi fares are expected to be a breath of fresh air. Because the platform does not take a cut from every booking, these savings are passed directly to the user. Industry experts suggest that passengers could see prices up to 30 percent lower than what they currently pay on private apps. This aggressive pricing strategy is designed to make the Delhi taxi service news a win-win for everyone involved.

Every driver on the platform holds five shares in the cooperative, ensuring they have a genuine stake in the business. This model addresses long-term complaints regarding unfair working conditions and dwindling incentives in the gig economy. If this Bharat Taxi Delhi NCR rollout proves successful, it may force major private players to rethink their entire pricing structure. Today's launch is more than just a new app; it is an ambitious attempt to prove that a cooperative, people-first model can thrive in a highly competitive digital market.
