Taxi.
Traffic
Jam

10. Recommendation
Limited internet users
• Short Term: UBER can take a
agreement with local call
center service by which they
can provide a hot line car
service. Passengers can call
that number and address
his/her location to pick up a
UBER car.
• Long Term: UBER can create its
own customers hot line car
service so that the total control
of that service can be held by
UBER.
Scarcity of debit card and
credit card GPS system overestimating
• Short Term: UBER can take payment
from passengers through mobile
banking like bikash and Rocket. They
can add new features of payment
system because In 2015, the mobile
banking industry saw Tk 157,773.31
core in transactions through mobile
phone.
• Long Term: UBER can create its own
UBER E-wallet system by which
customers can deposit money in
UBER E-wallet for future UBER
payment.
• Short Term: If UBER overestimate
because of poor GPS System then
passenger can claim his/her money to
UBER claim center by which he/she can
back his money within 5 working days.
• Long Term: UBER can improve its GPS
system so that UBER GPS can work
smoothly in low speed internet data.
That’s how UBER can resolve GPS
overestimating.
11. Recommendation
No call center and support system
• Short Term: UBER can create direct customer
support system to solve customers problem
• Long Term: To ensure the security of the
passengers UBER can add a panic button to its
app by which passengers can send information
to nearest police station or national help line
service.
Extremely expensive
• Short Term: UBER can take discount and
incentives policy for the drivers and
passengers. UBER should give incentives of 500
taka for new drivers and discount to the
passengers about 20% of its ride fee.
• Long Term: UBER can add its new features to
its app of ride share to other passengers. So
they can share ride fee equally and can
reduce the cost of transportation.
12. Recommendation
Refusal from the drivers
• Short Term: UBER can create a car station where
passengers can get UBER at any time.so that if
drivers refuse to go, then passengers can get UBER
car from those station or those specific area.
• Long Term: UBER must evaluate drivers in consistent
way. If customer claim that the drivers didn’t
want to go then UBER must follow up some
action and rules
Most of the people are not user friendly of
using app
• Short Term: UBER can provide offline service for aged
people and who are not user friendly of using app.
• Long Term: UBER must take a campaign program to
provide the information to the people that how to use this
app. This campaign must take in crowd place with target
customers . UBER must take long term training program
for the drivers.
13. Recommendation
CNG and Taxi available
• Short Term: UBER must grab more car drivers by
giving incentives and have to create an
agreement with local taxi provider. The more
UBER car and Taxi the more will create
customers.
• Long Term: UBER can differentiate car and Taxi
by consumer demand.
Traffic jam
• Short Term: UBER can take upfront price or skip destination
price.
In upfront price UBER will set the fare when passengers request
for UBER and that price will not change.
In skip destination price will set by travel destination and time
consuming.
• Long Term: To overcome the traffic jam UBER can include bike
riders as a two wheel vehicles.
14. Challenge of internet access in Bangladesh
Short Time
• UBER can start offline service
like Hot line car service or
passengers can get UBER by a
simple location based SMS
service
To overcome this situation UBER
may take time of 1-2 year
Long Time
• UBER can make a agreement with
telecom company in Bangladesh that
all telecom operators offers to its
customers to use UBER app without
data cost and UBER can share its
portion of profit to those telecom
company.
