WOW: AN INNOVATIVE DRIVER UTILIZES THE BLUMETER APP TO JUSTIFY THE OVERPRICING FARE IN THEIR CITY

Is tricycle fare costly in your area? Or maybe you spent more money on taking a taxi. Perhaps, you want to pay the exact fare where you are going? Well, this might be the answer to your problem.



In Joezerk Jhon Biel's post on his Facebook page, he shared an innovative driver from Zamboanga City who did a social experiment to utilize an application called BLUMETER to justify the fare using the fare matrix given by their city.




The driver thought of this idea due to the recent problems regarding overpricing fares among tricycle drivers.


In an interview with Joezerk, the driver said that the rider can download the said, input the settings required and monitor the fare.



The driver even proposed to put up a dashcam since tricycle drivers were mostly charged if there are complaints.


The driver also showed a sample fare matrix below:





From Astoria (town) to Baliwasan, the fare is P54.98 (0.61km, 10:38mins to arrive) [i would usually pay 70pesos to 100pesos]

He utilized these settings:

Base fare - 20pesos

Every succeeding km - 5pesos

Every minute of a ride - 3pesos (though not in the matrix, but I honestly think is FAIR]
