Kathmandu, June 2, 2025 — In light of the indefinite nationwide public transport strike that began today across Nepal, inDrive has taken swift action to ensure that mobility for the public remains uninterrupted. As traditional transportation options are brought to a standstill, inDrive continues to support passengers with accessible and equitable ride-hailing services.

inDrive’s innovative peer-to-peer pricing model empowers users to negotiate fares directly with drivers—departing from algorithm-driven pricing models that often lack transparency. Passengers simply enter their destination and propose a fare they are willing to pay. Nearby drivers can then choose to accept, decline, or negotiate the offer without penalty. This “Fair Price” model is central to inDrive’s mission to bring transparency, fairness, and accessibility to ride-hailing in Nepal.

With tens of thousands of active, registered drivers across the country, inDrive ensures strong ride availability even amid the transport shutdown. The platform has proven to be a resilient alternative for passengers seeking reliable transportation during this critical time.

To further support drivers and maintain service quality, inDrive has announced a 0% commission initiative for car drivers during peak hours. This allows drivers to retain 100% of their earnings, encouraging continued participation on the platform and ensuring stable ride supply. Additionally, motorcycle drivers continue to receive bonus incentives, which are being communicated directly through the app.

While these measures are not direct discounts for passengers, they play a vital role in keeping rides affordable and available across Nepal.

As the transport strike continues, inDrive remains committed to upholding fair and transparent ride-hailing for both passengers and drivers throughout Nepal.
