Book a cab without Internet

Cab aggregator Ola has now made it easier to book a cab even without internet.

Online cab aggregator Ola, has launched ‘Ola Offline’, a feature in its app that will enable customers to book a cab even when they don't have a data plan or can't find Wi-Fi.

Such users will get two options: Retry or Book via SMS. On selecting the latter, they will see a pre-entered text message requesting Ola to book a cab. On sending the text message, they will get an SMS with the particulars of the nearest available cabs across categories. Once they select their preferred cab category, they will receive driver and cab details instantly by SMS. The will also receive customer contact details and the GPS-triangulated location of the user. Once the internet connectivity resumes, the ride details, GPS tracking, SOS button, and other features associated with the ride, will be available for the user on the Ola app.

Ola plans to roll out the feature in most cities, over the coming weeks.
