inDrive.Outstation, a popular intercity ride-hailing service that allows users to set their own prices, has reported a significant surge in demand during India’s festive season. The period, marked by major festivals like Diwali, Dussehra, and Bhai Dooj, typically witnesses a spike in travel as people visit family, attend religious events, and engage in tourism.
During last year’s festival season in November, inDrive.Outstation saw remarkable growth in several cities. In Delhi, the platform recorded a 113% increase in orders, while Chandigarh saw a 74% rise and Mumbai 88%. Other cities also experienced strong growth, with orders jumping 124% in Ahmedabad, 120% in Meerut, and 116% in Agra. This surge highlights inDrive.Outstation’s popularity as a go-to ride service for intercity travel during these peak periods.
“These figures show that inDrive.Outstation is the preferred ride-hailing service for intercity rides across the country during these times,” said Pratip Mazumder, India Country Manager for inDrive.
Popular Routes During the Festive Season
The trend continued this year, with orders for rides between key cities soaring. Notable routes included Mumbai to Pune, with an 86% rise, Lucknow to Kanpur with an 81% increase, and Chandigarh to Delhi, which saw a 105% spike. Trips from Delhi to Meerut rose by 122%, while the reverse route from Meerut to Delhi surged by an impressive 213%.
Mazumder emphasized that despite the surge in demand, inDrive.Outstation continues to offer comfortable rides at user-determined fares, making it a convenient option for travelers during the busy festival season.
Why inDrive.Outstation Stands Out
Three key features make inDrive.Outstation a standout choice for intercity travel:
· Any Route, Anytime: inDrive.Outstation operates nationwide, offering intercity rides 24/7. Users can easily book rides through any internet-enabled device, whether it’s a phone, tablet, or computer.
· Excellent Service: The platform continuously evolves, with the inDrive.Outstation team regularly updating services and adding new features. Users can also provide feedback to help improve the platform.
· User Flexibility: Customers can choose their pickup location, driver, and price, offering a more personalized travel experience.
