Recently, there is a controversy regarding the riding apps Rapido and Ola. It is the advance tip issue. Users, If they book for cab, auto, and bike services will they offer an ‘advance tip’? If so, a message is coming to the users’ mobiles saying that there is a chance of booking a ride quickly. Moreover, a huge amount is shown as an advance tip.
