Surge pricing is one of the biggest sources of friction between riders and ride-hailing platforms. Here's how it works, why commission-based models are structurally tied to it, and how RydX's subscription model is designed differently.
A 0% commission subscription model changes Captain take-home math in a very direct way. Here's how RydX's ₹29/day or ₹499/month model compares to typical commission structures.
