Fare settings
The Fare Settings section allows administrators to define and manage various fare components for services offered by the platform. Here’s what each setting is likely to control:
- Base Fare: The starting cost for a trip. Admins can input the minimum fare that will be charged regardless of the distance or time.
- Distance Allowed in Base Fare: This specifies the distance that is covered by the base fare before additional charges apply.
- Time Allowed in Base Fare: Here, admins set the amount of time that is included in the base fare.
- Distance-Wise Price Per Unit: Determines the fare per unit of distance beyond the base fare allowance.
- Waiting Fee Per Minute: If a passenger makes the driver wait, this fee applies for each minute of waiting time.
- Allowed Hours For Reserve Min. Charges: Sets the time frame for which the base fare covers without incurring additional minimum charges.
- Extra Luggage Charges: Additional costs for passengers carrying luggage beyond a specified allowance.
- Cancellation fee: A fee applied to a passenger for canceling a trip.
- Surge Price: Additional charges are applied during periods of high demand.
- Tips: Allows passengers to add a tip to their fare, which can be entered as a set amount or a percentage.
- Tax: Any applicable taxes that should be added to the fare.
- Discount Amount: If there are any promotions or discounts, they can be subtracted from the total fare here.
- Total fare: Reflects the complete fare after all the above calculations.
Each field includes a space to enter a numerical value, with some allowing administrators to specify the unit of measure (like time in minutes or distance in kilometers).
