mid-day reporters tried out the newest app-based cab aggregator in town, started by driver-backed unions to take on giants Ola and Uber, only to fall back on autos and trains


Ranjeet Jadhav's long (cab-less) journey

Route: Andheri West to Juhu to Kalanagar
Attempts made: 03
Result: No drivers found
This was a long ride, but without a cab. I tried booking a taxi on S3 Cabs from two locations in Andheri, and then again from Juhu, but nothing; had to ultimately take an autorickshaw to reach office. I first tried booking a cab from Shastri Nagar in Lokhandwala around 1.45 pm; the app showed a mini and a sedan around eight minutes away. But when I tried to book, it was "no drivers found". From 1.46 pm to 2.10 pm, I tried repeatedly, but with no success.
