Rapido - An useful transport service based on digital technologies

Digital Rapido

In 2015, Rapido technologies Banglore has  started a bike taxi service in India. Currently, it encompasses 25 cities, mostly in South India but it is spreading all over the India in a fast manner. This is an another service writing the excellence of digital technologies. 

The user experience is just like the Ola and uber with some additional features on it's Mobile App. Rapido has captains everywhere in the city ready to carry you from one place to another. On the Mobile App you just need to put destination location and tap Request Rapido, a signal of your request will be sent to nearby captains to which one of them accept and come to pick you up. 

Benefits of Rapido Service :

1. Low transportation cost - It's a real affordable service as far as transportation cost is involved. 

2. Fast movement - With Rapido service, you are truly mobile and can go one place to another in very short span of time. 

3. Easy Availaibility- No matter where you are in the city, the digital captains find and transport you. 

4. Built in with a Travel Insurance- The service comes up with an inbuilt travel insurance. It means, you are safe and secure. 

5. Move with digital identity - The captains are verified by Rapido. So you need not to worry about travel with an unknown person. 

6. Move with Protection- Before starting your travel, the captains provide you with a helmet. 

7. Friendly Behavior- The captains are very friendly and behave in a professional way. 

8. Reach where a taxi can't reach - There are so many places where a taxi can't even enter. For reaching out at these places Rapido service is the best. 

Drawbacks of Rapido service :

1. Single Transport- This service is meant for single transport. If you are with friends and family, you have to go with Ola and Uber.

2. No Roof - During rain, movement experience is not good. However, this service is made for short trips. 

I believe that costing of a travel is still relevant in India where mass of the population live BPL. Traffic is a big problem. In such a condition, Rapido service is much relevant based on digital technologies and Mobile phones.
