They said I was overthinking when I said Ola and Uber cancel rides more often when you have a non female name and dp.

They said I was overthinking when I said Ola and Uber cancel rides more often when you have a non female name and dp.

So I changed my name to Tanya across all booking apps. As a control I also wanted a gender neutral name to compare so I used Kiran.

Total rides is 100 for each name so 300 rides total. Most within Banglore. Uber and Ola combined.

If this is not conclusive evidence that booking apps are sexist then I don't know what is.

I use it for 2 trips usually. Each trip comes to around 700rs. I've been keeping a record on notepad to see the difference over the last 6 months. Probably around 2L so far hogi, I earn enough to make up for it but.
