Ola, TFS or Uber – Which is cheaper?

The arrival of private cab operators like Meru Cabs, Dot Cabs and Sky Cabs certainly improved the options for comfortable travel within Hyderabad but these services have pretty much relegated themselves to Airport-runs.

The arrival of Ola Cabs, Taxi for Sure and Uber actually heralded the end of dependence on the infamous Hyderabad Auto-wallah whose vocabulary consists of a single word – No.

Like our dear mobile phone companies, the cab companies too now have a variety of service plans and each new plan is slightly more convoluted than the one before.

The table below illustrates the comparison of basic plans from Ola, TFS and Uber. Note that ride time has been calculated at 20 KM/Hour – which sits in the sweet spot of about 15 KM/Hour in heavy traffic situations and 30 KM/Hour speed that we experience in low-medium traffic situations.
