Due to rise in the in oil and other fuel prices, Careem has decided to raise the prices/rates in three cities Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. The company has sent email to its customers and conveyed the following message:
With multiple fuel price hikes, there has been a direct and indirect impact on our Captains’ cost of doing business. Captains are the driving force which enable safe, affordable and comfortable mobility for customers. In light of the above, we have implemented a cost adjustment in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad to ensure your Captains continue to serve you while fostering their livelihood. We appreciate the trust you have placed in us and continue to provide a reliable service.
In the recent months, you may have noticed that the prices for various fuels have been increased. Like, the price of petrol increased almost Rs. 10, raising from Rs. 72.5 to Rs. 81.5. Due to a constant increase in the prices, the Careem drivers have been furious.
According to a Careem Driver, “If it weren’t for the bonuses on completing a set number of rides per week, I wouldn’t break even”. We can expect that Uber will also provide some margin to its drivers too.
