Don’t wait for your friends to plan just go solo and trust your Smartphone

This is for all the readers who are trying to understand technology and its immense use for every possible activity of humans, the old scholars who read in news about the advancements and for all the new ones who never saw the evolution of technology and directly got introduced to it. Travelling is a life experience, there may be a possibility that virtual reality might give you a tour of the entire world just by spinning on the chair through a 3x6x3 inch device but the air breeze through the mountain is never the same as the AC. Travelling alone is, however, a negative thought for most of us. We aren’t confident enough if the trip just has the company to oneself so we involve our friends, family or partner to come along. Hijacking an unknown place and surviving there was like landing on the moon before but now if you feel like hiking just get your Smartphone and do it, later you can share the experience through a video or pictures.

The Youth who continued to see the rapid evaluation and the implementation at the workplace didn’t hesitate to introduce the technology in routine. The best app for travel is available on the play store but the reliability on the application by the older generation for travelling is not much easy to witness.

Let's check out some cool applications for your trip

SKYSCANNER
It is an application to save your time to visit multiple travel agents for best deals around the dates you wish to plan the travel. The cheapest flight deals can be swiped over your phone than on a travel agents calendar. More such applications make my trip, kayak, Hopper etc.

UBER
Once you are at one of your wish list countries but you know nothing about the commuting trends there even if you have landed after a research of that place, you still need a safe ride to visit different historic places. Uber is the best choice because it’s available in more than 700+ cities or that’s what they claim. If you are visiting India you have got another option like ola and if you are in USA Lyft is your another option to choose from.

GOOGLE MAPS
The travelling definitely involves treks and underwater sports, now if you enter a rural area with not much internet connectivity then who is your saver, Google Maps is an excellent guide to your trek through the mountains if you are lucky enough to have local area signals in your Smartphone.

AIRBNB
With expensive flights you need to manage the hotel tariffs too, this application helps you find home stays at a very reasonable price and a local cultural experience on your trip to know insides of the country you are visiting.

CITY MAPPER
Every new area has a different type of commutes and to experience the tramp, bus, metros, subway etc. City Mapper connects you with an online and offline timetable of local commutes to travel from one place to another.

Final words

If the younger generation has got an application knowledge then the oldies have got the life experience. Now I am not saying that either one is wrong but the acceptance by the older generation of calculated advice coming from young ones and giving up of I know it all attitude by the younger generation will make it a better place for everyone to live and travel. The place where your battery is dead, power bank is out of power and there is no socket at all and the trip management app are nowhere to guide you who is to your rescue there, a grown-up mind with similar experience. The invasion of technology has brought the world closer but parted families with different generations, which may not be big deal at the national level but it is at an individual level.

Comfort comes with a Price: App-based Taxi Crises

The ios or android mobile application developers came up with an application based taxi which has been increased with Uber and ola being the big sharks of the taxi industry. Every invention comes with pros and cons, although sitting at your sofa and lowering the taxi in front of your house using the mobile application saves a hell of a struggle on the street and makes you feel luxurious too the troubles associated with the new implementation are unveiled only after the experience.

No doubt the commuting has been easier than before for the people with Smartphone in their hands. It is a great business solution as well because of the benefits of the third-party applications such as GPS, taxi management system and social sharing etc. The payment gateways are benefiting from the taxi based application.

But the after effects cannot be predicted, let’s check out the hidden loss of credit.

In spite of being the best option for traveling from one point to another locally and now even interstate is available on the taxi based application. Nobody talks about the inconvenience that was never experienced before.  The idea of taxi based application is totally new and so are the problems with its usage. It might be not as huge as the traffic problem that this application happens to solve but it’s got few setbacks.

Surge pricing
For all those who do not understand what surge pricing is, it is a marketing term which means the state of the market when the demand is excessive and the supply is less and the supplier tends to increase the cost. The increased cost is called surge pricing. In case of taxi booking app business, the market consists of the supply of car drivers and demand of passenger. At times there are more people commuting in an hour than the number of cabs available. Therefore, the prices tend to increase by a certain percentage and due to more availability of passengers; the driver tends to cancel the rides which cause inconvenience to passenger’s plans.

 Impact on drivers

Before it was just Uber in the market and the drivers would earn through surge pricing but with other competitors coming in the market, the average income of the drivers has been pushed downwards. Hence, the drivers had to increase the working hours to earn the same amount that they would make a year or two years ago.

Survival in the Industry
With more competitors in the market, the taxi based applications have to come up with new schemes and strategies. For example, the experience of the limousine is given at a cheaper rate to increase the number of rides although the expense is on the drivers which in return will account for poor services by the driver due to frustrations among the drivers.

Ease of Access

The drivers are unknown of the location until the trip is initiated which makes the passenger board from the exact location and the driver can’t cancel it.  The passenger doesn’t have to wait for longer estimated hours but it affects the drivers who have expensive cars and are not fit to move through muddy and broken roads. These are the add-on expenses over the drivers which go from their pockets.

Shared Cab Services
Although shared cab services are wonderful and benefit all three the passenger, the driver, and the application provider. The main demerit is not all people love to adjust. If the car has a capacity of three who can sit comfortably and one of them just comes along that causes the uncomfortable journey and can lead to disputes among the passengers and might decrease one regular passenger.

Closing words
Taxi-based application is great and have been a cure for traffic problems but the after effects can only be seen once it starts to implement the need for continuous improvement based on feedback is necessary for mobile application development companies on regular basis or else no matter how good the solution is if it isn’t accepted by the mass it makes no difference and disappears in no time.
