Uber/Ola value proposition fast eroding

Over the last year, both Ola and Uber have began to increase prices and/or make consumer experience worse for those. Some observations are below. At this rate, both often charge for share bookings the same tariff as black/yellow auto and taxi, while not being much faster. Also, this is without offering a clear differentiation like passenger insurance, impartial dispute redressal etc. Guess this is the start of the end

Offer/Feature	When Introduced	Now
Fare calculation	Transparent distance and time	‘Upfront fares’
Surge pricing display	‘x’ surge’ displayed transparently	Inferred from the upfront fares multiple-you need to calculate
Ride time fare	Rs 1/km	Rs 1.5/km
Pool/Share rides	Usually 50% of Uber Go/Ola Micro	Even 70%-100% of the fares
Pool/Share rides routing	Detours usually not much	Sometimes 30min detour to worsen the experience
Pool/Share rides	End-End	‘Express’ rides where you hop on/hop off routes like highway-now its like hailing cabs
Short distance rides	Perception that where regular cabs refuse/Ola uber will agree	With high min fares >=Rs 60, Uber/Ola will be costlier anyways
Payment via Wallets	Usually useful to avoid cash payments	Wallets like PAYTM side with Uber/Ola, so its better to use credit cards only
