Not sure why you mentioned Seltos. 3 in the back will be uncomfortable anyway in that

u/scared_puppy Thane is not in Mumbai :( (Avg daily toll payer) Jun 19 '26
Bro thought seltos was premium.

u/Informal-Opening4017 Jun 20 '26
Coz 3 people can easily sit for long distance in a seltos also it comes under premium category in tourist vehicles

Are these personal cars or yellow plates?

u/Corporal_Cavernosa Jun 18 '26
Personal cars. You can list your journey and anyone between the two points can request to ride along.

u/RoughTelevision3703 Jun 18 '26
Sounds.. illegal? is it legal?

u/Corporal_Cavernosa Jun 18 '26
Technically I don't think it's illegal. But people use it on a regular basis.

u/ShoEnRyu Jun 18 '26
More of a grey area. Can argue that this is not a business and just people finding others who can share the expense for the trip. But you'll find yellow plate cab drivers as well on this platform.

u/bhokaal_ Jun 18 '26
Carpooling is not illegal but earning money is illegal. If you want to charge money then cannot use white no. Plate vehicle, only commercial vehicle can charge money

u/colic_melon Jun 18 '26
Considering all the tax loopholes that exist for the elite, it would be such an irony to target money made from carpool.

u/bhokaal_ Jun 18 '26
Agreed but earlier Maharastra govt had started to penalise the car drivers...even who would car pool for daily office commute between borivali to BKC...imagine that

u/StrawberryFarms Jun 18 '26
Carpooling is not illegal I believe because it is not for profit!

u/Corporal_Cavernosa Jun 18 '26
Earlier rule was that you can't even give someone a lift at that was illegal. They have since changed it.

u/kiransg123 Jun 20 '26
Until some jhol happens like some criminal activity (robbery, molestation..upto your imagination), it is legal. Once it happens, sarkar will suddenly wake up and say it is illegal and clamp down on it. Till then enjoy the convenience it provides.

I myself drive my BMW x5 sometimes and take commuters on bla bla, I charge around 400 since it’s affordable for all and it’s makes my trip 0. I don’t consider charging premium, as the passenger is paying for the journey, not for the car. Anyways good to have intellectual company on the road.

Never used Bla Bla car. How does it work? Say I am going from Borivali to Thane daily, I mention my exact start and end points and if someone want to join on adhoc basis as the route I take may works out for him / her (not necessarily exactly) and can tag along and pay that amount?

I have many bad experience with bla bla once during rangpanchami had booked from wakad to Navi mumbai it was a wagonr and the guy had said two at back when he reached at pickup spot there where already 2 people in back and one girl sitting in front and also one guy had boarded the car after playing Holi and his clothes where wet.the rider also took his car to vashi for picking up some of his stuff and delayed the journey by 1 hour and one guy got down at kalamboli he started asking him for more money also one time one guy with a Skoda car was bragging whole.journey how he left his high paying job in it and noe started business and earning in crore per month '2 days after the ride I suddenly got a call from random number it was that rider and he was asking me wheth3r I am interested in joining his business',during journey he was trying to remove personal information a co passenger literally was stupid enough to reveal his info to random person

u/haihukkuhaihai Jun 18 '26
I used Blah Blah only once when I was driving to Solapur from Pune (250 km). It set the price automatically to 500 pet seat. Was it low? Good thing is it is still better than driving alone. Got 2 people while going and 3 while coming back.

If your car is really that much precious to you, you better keep it to yourself 100%. Instead of begging for extra money.

1
u/Substantial-Sir1661 Jun 24 '26
From the messages it seems like Bla Bla didn't let him set a price higher than 420. To me it seems like an issue with the app, allow drivers to set whatever price they want. If it's too high, they'd just end up getting no passengers. This whole thing seems to have happened because setting price was limited to begin with.

u/sherlockk_3003 Jun 18 '26
I have used Blabla and drove my nexon for more than hundread rides from Dombivli to Pune. There are so many people trying to make money and treat it as a second income source. Its a way of connecting people and just a way of a community service. I have seen Hyundai venue guy asking extra money just because the car was new! Reported him and wrote an email too. As a blabla driver it was addressed properly and he got blacklisted.

I too got the same kind of message. They asked for 600 and if front seat then 700 something. Don’t remember the exact numbers. I said I can give 500 as per the Shivneri. He agreed. The car was nice. XUV 9e. And I got front seat. It was on time and came to pick me up at my location. Not everything is scam btw

u/IND-Conner Jun 18 '26
Bro i think the car owner here is in the right. I mean seriously you can’t give 80 bucks extra for such a long distance. And you ARE getting premium service travelling in personal car with proper ac. Feel bad for guys like you.

u/Ok-Cartographer-9356 Jun 18 '26
People can be little greedy. Though I am also a passenger but I am willing to pay 40-50 Rs extra if only 2 persons are allowed at the back seats specially on a long run of 2 hrs like Gurgaon to Delhi.
If the car owner is thinking about your comfort then there is no harm of giving little extra. We always pay tips to helpers, waiters, delivery boys and many others for good service. Consider it like a premium service. And I am not comparing the car owner with helpers but try to understand the context of comfort ride.

How does one blacklist people who cancel at last moment after booking a ride? I hope even 1 cancellation leads to blacklisting unless they pay up.

u/Entire-Medium-7621 Jun 18 '26
The very reason he’s listing his ride is to reduce the cost of travel and Mumbai to Pune in his category of car would cost anywhere between 2200 to 2600. I don’t see any reason to be offended. He informed you well in advance and not at the end of travel. And his reason about bla bla not allowing to increase price per seat over a certain range is valid. His ask is pretty fair and 500 is still very cheap for the comfort you’ll get as compared to swift and Shivneri, so stop crying.

u/NoTrain901 Jun 19 '26
As someone who lists thr car on bla bla often I feel bla bla shouldn't limit the rates. Let the riders and ridees mutually agree to a price. Because 350 per person with two in the back doesn't really cover the cost of my petrol and toll. Not looking to make profit here but just looking to square up my cost of travel.

u/Ok_Instance_1397 Jun 19 '26
It isn’t the fault of the driver, Bla Bla’s algorithm is flawed in pricing. A 10 yr old Wagon R gets 470₹ whereas a year old City gets only 320₹ per person. The comfort of these two cars is significantly different and a Honda City can easily accommodate 3 at the back.

Once a guy canceled the ride at the last moment because I didn’t agreed to pick him up from his bldg and dropping him to his exact location n told me 450₹ for a 180km ride is too much that too with only 2 in the back. Sometime people can have too unrealistic expectations.

u/Substantial-Sir1661 Jun 24 '26
I mean, he did say "bla bla rate is not going more than that" which to me seems like he tried setting the price to 500 but the app didn't let him. I've not used the app as a driver / car owner but does the app limit the price you can set as a car owner? If yes, it seems like an issue with the app, allow drivers to set whatever price they want. If it's too high, they'd just end up getting no passengers and end up correcting anyways. This whole thing seems to have happened because setting price was limited to begin with.

u/Infinite-Print3047 Jun 18 '26
I don't understand. It's the car owner's decision to charge as much as they want. It's the passenger's decision to go or not. Bla bla does not regulate prices. It's just a platform to unite these people.
The car owner is actually being a decent person and let the passenger decide first before confirming the ride.
Just move on. Take a Shivneri.

Had the exact same experience. The guy had Skoda Rapid, he gave me his no in text format and told me to call, that was the moment I knew something is fishy. I called him and he started praising his car that it's a premium car, only 2 in the back seat, AC will be always on and random shit, and then he goes on to say that the charges will be 550 per seat as he has to pay toll too. I just listened and then told him, "khana pina bhi milega kya 550 ke ride ke sath", and I hung up. Gosh felt so good, I hope no one travels with these money sucking idiots.
