When you think ride-hailing or taxi app, the first thing that probably comes to mind is Careem or Uber. However, that might be changing soon for Karachiites with Siayara. Siayara is a new online taxi service that will cater to people looking for inexpensive transport in the city.<\/p>\n
According to their website:<\/p>\n
“Siayara is one of the leading car-hailing services in Pakistan aiming to build trust by providing transparency and hassle free service to Passengers and Pilots. Siayara believe in making a difference in Pakistan by creating employment opportunities for every individual willing to earn a living for his\/her family”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Syed Aamir Hussain, Director Siayara, says it is the first of its kind ride-hailing service that is primarily based in Pakistan and seeks to provide cheaper transport in the city.<\/p>\n
Hussain said, \u201cInitially, we have started with 2,000 cars divided into four categories \u2013 eco-mini, eco-, eco-plus, and eco-business \u2013 with reasonable fares,\u201d adding that there aren\u2019t any peak factor or hidden charges on the rides plus it\u2019s a 24-hour service.<\/p>\n
Hussain, while comparing Siayara\u2019s rates with its competitors, said that when using an eco-mini vehicle, a minimum of PKR 15 per kilometer will be charged, which is PKR 3-4 less compared what other services charge for the same car type.<\/p>\n
For the other modes, such as eco the base rate is Rs. 17\/km, eco-plus costs Rs. 18\/km and eco-business will cost you Rs. 26\/km. The price difference of PKR 3-4 also applies for the other car types, said Hussain.<\/p>\n
Hussain said that after a few months, the organization aims to introduce a motorcycle service as well.<\/p>\n
The app is now available on Google Play Store and an iOS app is soon to be launched for Apple’s iPhone users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
