This online transport service is certainly convenient at times, especially if you prefer comfort and privacy.  But it doesn\u2019t erase the fact that taking a cab ride comes with a price, quite literally. Fares can skyrocket during rush hours or weather disturbances and sometimes drivers can demand extra, adding to the frustration.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">But what if there was an app that helped you book the cheapest cab by comparing all the online portals? If this sounds unbelievable, then you\u2019re mistaken. An X-user recently dropped a post on the micro-blogging platform, sharing the details of a similar application called Buyhatke. Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><strong>Cab Booking Got Easy And Cheap?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">First, link your OLA, Uber and Rapido accounts on the application.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Next, enter the pickup and drop-off locations.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">After that, you will see the platform checking every online ride-hailing application to compare the price and ETA.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Once you select your preference, it will automatically book a ride.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">The perks extend to the \u201csmart pickup&#8221; feature.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">It\u2019ll inform you whether the cab price can drop if you walk a little distance from the original pickup spot. <\/p>\n<div class=\"twtiframe\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Crazy hack for booking a cab: there is  this app where you link your OLA, Uber, Rapido accounts, enter your pickup and drop location and it will automatically checks every app and compares the price and ETA for you. Best part is you tap your choice and it books the ride for you\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OTmjvArS0Q\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/OTmjvArS0Q<\/a>\u2014 Aaraynsh (@aaraynsh) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/aaraynsh\/status\/1993623656493404278?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">November 26, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><strong>Internet Left Divided By App<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">\u201cThis is actually genius, comparing prices across all platforms before booking. Most people stick to one app out of habit and end up overpaying every time,&#8221; approved a user. \u201cThis might actually fix 90% of the frustration with cab apps,&#8221; agreed another. \u201cIs the app free or paid?&#8221; asked one person. \u201cI\u2019ve been using the extension on my laptop since its beta testing. Pretty good,&#8221; noted someone else.<\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\">\u201cWhat looks like a \u2018crazy hack\u2019 is really a temporary loophole that closes the moment it gets traction. Ride platforms spend billions on subsidies to keep acquisition costs low. An aggregator piggybacking on top destroys the cac math, so platforms will always fight it. Always,&#8221; commented a critic. Someone added, \u201cNothing works in Bengaluru.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"twtiframe\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Crazy hack for booking a cab: there is  this app where you link your OLA, Uber, Rapido accounts, enter your pickup and drop location and it will automatically checks every app and compares the price and ETA for you.
