OLA kickstarts 'Offline' services

Taxi aggregator Ola today declared the launch of 'Ola Offline' across key metros in the country in an offer to tap customers who can't use data services on their phones.

The component will empower customers to book a taxi even without internet. The customer just needs to send his area details to Ola through SMS after which the taxi aggregator will impart driver details to the client. The client will then be needed to call the driver to alter the ride, Ola said in an announcement.

The "Offline" highlight was steered in a few littler markets like Indore and Nagpur, since June this year, it said.

The element will be taken off over all the 102 urban areas that Ola works in, over the coming weeks, beginning with four metros, it included.

The element will be accessible over all taxi classes like Micro, Mini, Prime and Lux.
