- Impact of Price Wars: The aggressive pricing strategy of inDrive led to significant fare reductions, which, while pleasing to riders, resulted in protests from drivers over decreased earnings, highlighting the intense competition in the sector.
- Safety Concerns: Despite its popularity, inDrive faced a poor safety record with frequent complaints, prompting the company to implement measures aimed at improving safety for both drivers and passengers.
