Ola To Offer 20 Percent Discount To Senior Citizens - DriveSpark

​Why not Hyderabad? I am peeved though I prefer Uber to OLA. Uber GPS​ is  reliable and OLA Autos are almost never available. What is your experience?
If I have time to explore, then if uber is costly then I try OLA. UberPool is cheaper than autos.

App-based cab aggregator Ola has announced the expansion of its unique 
initiative 'Senior Citizen Mobility Program' in Nagpur and three other cities.
Ola's initiative aims at making mobility more affordable to the elderly. The senior citizens (60 years and above) who register for this program will get 20 percent discount on their first ten rides every month.


Apart from that, the first ten Ola auto rides can be availed at a discount of 15 percent. The discount scheme is currently available in Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Indore, Bhopal, Mumbai and Pune.

Associate Director (Operations) of Ola, Kiran Brahma said, "At Ola, we want to make mobility convenient and hassle-free for all. Senior citizens represent a group of individuals who have served the nation well."

To avail the discount, the senior citizens should register online through a link. They also need to submit the proof of identity and age. After the verification, the senior citizens can start taking Ola rides.

We have seen government transport offering discounts to senior citizens. But very rarely we see a private firm taking up such an initiative. It's good to see that ride-hailing companies are concerned about the senior citizens of the country.
