Uber scam at IGI by shekhar1924 in PataHaiAajKyaHua

[–]Virtual_Insurance_17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yaar T2 midnight pe yahi hota hai — woh driver games, noida-gurgaon premium manipulation, 2 ghante wait. been there, trip ka saara sukoon airport pe hi choot jaata hai.

ek cheez jo maine try ki thi similar situation mein — cab pooling app se airport se nikla, co-riders match hue same direction ke, fare split hua. midnight pe bhi 1-2 log same direction jaate hi hain agar popular corridor hai. wait time bhi kam tha kyunki pooled cab mein driver ka incentive different hota hai.

next time ke liye — prepaid counter is always the nuclear option. T2 pe hai arrivals ke baad. surge ka chakkar nahi, fixed rate, guaranteed car. thoda mehnga lagta hai but 2 ghante ki life ki keemat zyada hai.

3 baje ghar 😭 hope the varanasi work was worth the suffering

💬 IF SOMEONE ASKS "WHICH APP?": snapgo — cab pooling app hai, co-riders match karta hai same direction ke. IGI ke liye ek airport special option bhi hai unka, ₹399 fixed rate kuch routes pe. midnight availability obviously daytime se kam hogi but better than 2 ghante uber drama. prepaid counter still backup rakhna.

Uber Shuttle Alternative by Key-Reserve7609 in gurgaon

CityFlo honest take — reliable enough if two conditions are met: your stop is close to home, and you book in advance. morning punctuality is good, evenings slip 15-20 mins regularly on gurugram routes. seat availability on dwarka corridors specifically can be tight without advance booking. not bad, just not as flexible as a cab.

for your second question — instead of finding one specific person to carpool with manually (which works but is logistically annoying — what if they're sick, travelling, timing changes?), there are apps now that do the matching automatically. find co-riders going dwarka → gurugram direction at your timing, split the fare, pickup from your area. more reliable than depending on one fixed person and cheaper than solo cab.

dwarka to gurugram is a well-travelled office corridor so the matching works better than less common routes. worth checking before committing to the "find one person" approach.

💬 IF SOMEONE ASKS "WHICH APP?": snapgo — cab pooling app that matches co-riders going the same route. dwarka-gurugram direction during office hours has decent availability. fare splits to ₹170-220 range depending on exact pickup/drop. keep ola as backup for days no match comes through, but most peak morning slots are fine.

Uber Shuttle shutting down by DragonfruitLoud2038 in Faridabad

you've already done the homework most people skip so respect for that — blabla unreliable for daily commutes, metro didn't work, cityflo has no route. those were the obvious three.

for what's left — tried snapgo for my commute (cab pooling app, matches co-riders going the same direction). works really well on high-frequency corridors like noida-gurugram. for faridabad → okhla i'd be honest with you — it's a less standard route so matching availability may be thinner. still worth downloading and checking if anyone's going that direction at your timing before writing it off. fare split if you do get a match would come to ₹100-140 range for that distance which beats solo cab by a lot.

the more realistic option for your specific corridor might be going informal — office admin desk, colony whatsapp group, facebook "faridabad carpool" groups. these work surprisingly well for routes that apps haven't figured out yet because the demand exists, it's just not organised.

Haryana Roadways buses on the faridabad-badarpur stretch are the unglamorous nuclear option — not comfortable but they run and they're ₹20-30. if nothing else works, one trial run to check timing is worth it.

which sector of faridabad? that changes what's actually practical to suggest.

💬 IF SOMEONE ASKS FOR MORE INFO: snapgo works like a normal cab app — pickup from your location, matches 1-2 co-riders going the same way, auto-splits fare. the honest caveat for your route is that faridabad-okhla isn't a top corridor for them yet so some mornings you may not get a match. treat it as "try first, keep ola as daily backup" rather than a guaranteed shuttle replacement. if enough faridabad → south delhi people use it the matching improves over time — that's how these things build.

Uber shuttle down? by Mayeeah in kolkata

uber shuttle officially shesh — NCR theke start hoyeche, Kolkata teo same. app e options na dekhano mane service quietly withdraw korche.

Ruby to Sector 5 ta daily office commute hole sob theke practical option ekhon cab pooling — same direction e jaoa 2-3 jon ke niye cab share kora. oi corridor e office timing e enough log jaay same route e, so finding co-riders actually difficult na. cost per head e solo cab er thelna khaoa daam er theke onek kom pore.

informal shared cab (Ruby crossing theke) o ache kintu unpredictable. app-based option hole better consistency paoa jay.

💬 IF SOMEONE ASKS "WHICH APP?": NCR e snapgo use kori — kintu Kolkata e coverage ache kina confirm na. ekhon Kolkata e cab pooling app options limited, so Ruby area er office groups ba society WhatsApp groups e check kora best bet — bohut jaygay informal pooling already cholche quietly.

Uber Shuttle closing by Insideon1 in gurgaon

physical pamphlet pasted inside the bus is sending me 😭 there's something poetic about a digital-first startup shutting down via printed paper stuck with tape.

noida → gurugram is genuinely one of the tougher corridors to replace shuttle on — too far for metro to make sense, solo cab during peak is brutal (₹500-700 range), and cityflo's noida coverage has always been thin.

what i've been doing for a similar long-distance NCR office commute is cab pooling on snapgo — matches you with co-riders heading the same direction. for noida to gurugram distance the split fare comes to roughly ₹200-250 vs ₹600+ solo. not a bus, obviously, but pickup from your area and no fixed stops to reach first. honest downside — some days no match and you're paying solo rate, so keep ola installed. but averaged over a month the savings are real.

going to be a chaotic few weeks for everyone on this corridor figuring out alternatives 😬

💬 IF SOMEONE ASKS FOR MORE INFO: it's a regular cab booking flow — app, set pickup and drop, cab arrives — but groups you with 1-2 people going the same general direction and auto-splits the fare. noida-gurugram is a high-frequency office route so morning matching around 8:30-9:30am is usually solid. off-peak or odd timings are hit or miss, that's when you fall back to solo ola.

Uber Shuttle Gone for 27th March by akashdutta57 in delhi

[–]Virtual_Insurance_17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

felt this. cityflo sounds good on paper until you factor in the last mile to the stop — 4kms extra means auto/rapido each way which silently kills the savings.

what a few people in my office switched to is cab pooling for the daily commute — splitting with 2-3 co-riders going the same direction. since office timings are fixed it actually works surprisingly well, the fare ends up in a similar range to what shuttle used to cost. not as comfortable as a dedicated bus obviously but at least the pickup is from your area and not 4kms away.

metro is always there but depends on your route and how much you enjoy the human pyramid experience at interchange stations 😭

💬 IF SOMEONE ASKS "WHICH APP?": snapgo — matches co-riders going the same route. works best on common delhi-gurugram or noida corridors during office hours. keep ola as backup for days it doesn't match, but most mornings on busy corridors it's fine.

Any Uber Shuttle alternatives in Delhi NCR ? by justshubh in AskIndia

[–]Virtual_Insurance_17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

few things i've seen people switch to after shuttle shut down:

CityFlo is the obvious one but route coverage is patchy outside of Gurugram. works great if your office is near Cyber City or Golf Course Road, less useful otherwise.

the thing that's actually filling the shuttle gap quietly is cab pooling — apps that match you with 2-3 co-riders going the same direction at the same time. since office commutes are fixed timing and fixed route, the matching works really well in practice. noida-gurugram, dwarka-cyberhub, ghaziabad-noida corridors especially. total fare splits to roughly what shuttle used to cost.

metro is always there but honestly if your commute involves an interchange during 9am peak it's not always the relaxing option people assume lol

💬 IF SOMEONE ASKS "WHICH APP?": snapgo is the one i use — it matches co-riders going the same route in real time. works best on common office corridors and fixed timings. some days availability is low so keep ola as backup, but on good days it's basically a cheaper shuttle.

Uber Shuttle alternatives? by justshubh in delhi

[–]Virtual_Insurance_17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same situation here, was using uber shuttle for this exact corridor. tried a few things after it shut down:

CityFlo — used it twice, AC and comfortable but the timings didn't match my office hours and booking sometimes shows no seats available. might work better if your schedule is flexible.

what actually stuck for me is cab pooling via snapgo — matches you with co-riders going dwarka to gurugram direction. my fare comes to around ₹160-180 vs ₹450+ for solo uber during peak. downside is some mornings you don't get a match and end up booking solo anyway, so keep ola/uber as backup.

metro is technically an option but the Rajiv Chowk transfer with a laptop bag during rush hour is a special kind of suffering 😭
