What has been the effect of the Maruti Tour H3 on the livelihood of Indian taxi drivers?
A taxi industry dominated by the Maruti Tour H3 has enormous implications for the livelihoods of taxi drivers all over India. Its affordability and fuel efficiency has made it easier for drivers to enter the profession or run their own taxi business some say. They say, in fact, that the ubiquity of the service has caused market saturation, making it harder for drivers to distinguish themselves or earn a premium rate for passengers. Some dispute whether the Tour H3 can save drivers maintenance costs and lost time in driving, and this also helps them make more money. A few also talk about how the comfort (or lack thereof) of the car affects the driver's well being during long shifts. Furthermore, the question of how the Tour H3 fares with respect to driver earnings and job security as compared to ride sharing services, and whether it has allowed traditional taxi drivers to compete in the changing transportation landscape is also answered.
For taxi drivers, the Tour H3 has been a game changer. If it’s low cost and fuel efficient, they end up with more money in their pockets at the end of the day.
I'm not so sure. The popularity of the Tour H3 has flooded the market with taxis, and it is getting increasingly difficult for drivers to make a living. It's a race to the bottom.
It's a mixed bag. Great, the Tour H3 is cheap to run, but it’s not the most comfortable car for drivers who spend 12+ hours a day in it.
Traditional taxi drivers have leveraged the Tour H3 to compete with ride sharing services. And because it's reliable, you have less downtime and a more consistent earnings stream.
We shouldn't forget that the Tour H3's simplicity means that drivers can do basic maintenance on their own, saving on garage costs. That’s a big deal for their bottom line.
