GO CASHLESS! Say NO to Cash & Direct PayTm






We're overwhelmed by the response to the email which we have shared on last month. We thank users showed their support to the platform. Few users came forward and informed us about violation which they observed and got rewarded respectively with ride/fuel points. We have suspended the reported accounts and below are few case studies:

Case Study 1:
 
Shyam & Naina's account suspended for doing manual carpooling and cash transaction.
 
Shyam & Naina's were using Quick Ride resources to estimate ride fare and doing manual carpooling and cash transaction. Both of their accounts were suspended for violating safety policies and Terms and Conditions of the platform.
Case Study 2:
 
Shyam's Acc. suspended for compelling Naina for PayTm transaction after the ride completion.
 
Shyam transferred the points back to Naina's wallet which he got after completion of the ride. He compelled her to transfer the respective amount through PayTm. Naina eventually did and felt uncomfortable later she informed Quick Ride. Naina got 100 Bonus points for informing us and Shyam's account got suspended.
Case Study 3:
 
Naina's Acc. suspended for compelling Shyam to accept cash for the ride completed.
 
Naina requested Shyam for a ride, Shyam accepted the invitation. She has canceled the ride instead of check-in option. Shyam noticed while ending the ride that Naina hasn't joined the ride. Naina compelled him to accept cash. Shyam got 100 Fuel points for informing us and Naina's account got suspended.
Case Study 4:
 
Ram's Acc. suspended for bypassing Quick Ride payment and paid less to Shyam via PayTm.
 
Ram sent ride request to Shyam, and he accepted. But, Ram didn't check in and check out after the ride completion. After completing the ride, Ram paid 35 pts via PayTm to Shyam where the fare is 49 pts. Shyam got 100 Fuel points for notifying us and Ram's account got suspended.
Note: 'Shyam', 'Ram' & 'Naina' are hypothetical names to maintain the privacy of actual users whose accounts got suspended.
Below is the email sent last month:
 
We are pleased to inform you that with your support we have reached to a strong user base of 150,000+ in Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Chennai. However, it was quite disappointing to observe that some of the users are bypassing Quick Ride payment system and accepting Cash or direct PayTM, violating ethics.
 
This is becoming the cause of our worry. We have put in lots of efforts in taking Quick Ride where it is today. Most often we are asked why do we charge 6% service charge, let us tell you why:
 
  1. We have our engineering team who constantly keep on innovating and developing the app, updating it, fixing the bugs so that “YOU-THE USERS”   do not face any difficulties.
  2. Our servers were hosted on AWS for high availability.  We use Google maps for route identification. SMS Gateway and email gateway for communications. These are commercial services. 
  3. We have Support Team who try to be Quick enough in best of their capabilities to help you through any sort of issues-be it through mail or calls.
  4. We have marketing team who have worked really hard and have made the app reachable to you all by extensively campaigning and demonstrating on how to use the app. Along with this we too have several other expenses to be taken care of.
These all factors come with a price; we have our bills to be paid. I am sure all of you want Quick Ride to be long lasting self-sustainable Business. You want Quick Ride to grow the network further so you are able to find option any time on any day on any route. This is the value you get for the small service fee you are paying.
 
Let us discuss the benefits and how MY WALLET transactions are easier and Do's and Don'ts:
 
  1. Need not discuss about payments at all. As long as users join on app, the payments always assured.
  2. Legal compliance through fuel point system.
  3. Measures and motivations. The ecometer will help you to proudly claim your contribution to environment. It will make you eligible for Loyalty and reward programs from Quick Ride, Organizations and Govt.  
Do's:
 
MY WALLET payments are automated and happen in just 2 clicks > CHECKED IN (once you board the vehicle) > CHECKED OUT (once you'de board the vehicle).
 
Don'ts:
  • Avoid discussion of money transfers completely
  • No PayTm transfers for Quick Rides taken
  • No direct Bank Acc. Transfer
  • No Cash transactions.
This is our humble request to all of you that please do not encourage such deeds, please refuse for such requests and if you come across any such happenings, please write to us:  admin@quickride.in. Users who help us by reporting such incidents will be appropriately rewarded.
 
We request you to kindly align to Quick Ride terms and conditions in this respect as we already have a list of such transactions happening through PayTm, if this continues, we will have to suspend/ freeze respective users Quick Ride accounts.
