<\/p>\nPathao in hot-waters again!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Bangladeshi ride-sharing app made its debut back in 2018 in Nepal. Since then, the company has unwillingly wrapped itself around several controversies; from Government Bodies to Taxi Syndicates<\/a>.<\/p>\n Just a week ago, a group of Pathao riders organized a meetup to plan a protest against the company. In an 13-point demand, the riders vented their frustrations with the company which includes demands to reduce the commission rate from 20% to 5%.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, things have turned for the worse today as Pathao riders criticized the company for failing to respond to their demands.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n In a heated altercation, a group of Pathao riders have vandalized Pathao\u2019s office in Mid Baneshwor with 26 people arrested from the protest site.<\/p>\n Pathao riders presented the ride-sharing company with a 13-point demand. These demands entail quality of life improvements for the Pathao riders.<\/p>\n We have included their demands in the following picture.<\/p>\n Pathao has released a press release addressing points individually.<\/p>\n According to the press release, the company now provides insurance (Rs. 1,00,000 to Rs. 5,00,000) to both Pathao rider and passenger<\/strong> depending on the seriousness of the damage.<\/p>\nDemands<\/h3>\n
