5. How Taxi Booking Works
GoLakhor follows a wallet-based booking system designed to ensure smooth transactions between customers and drivers.
Step 1: Add Funds
Before booking a ride, customers must add sufficient funds to their GoLakhor Wallet.
Without sufficient wallet balance, ride requests may not be processed.
Step 2: Submit Ride Request
The customer:
- Selects Pickup Location
- Selects Drop-off Location
- Clicks “Book a Taxi”
Step 3: Driver Notification
The system instantly notifies all active drivers within the same Dzongkhag.
Each notified driver can review the request and decide whether to accept it.
Step 4: Ride Acceptance
The first driver who accepts the ride becomes assigned to that booking.
Once accepted:
- The ride is locked.
- Other drivers can no longer accept the request.
- The customer is notified immediately.
Step 5: OTP Generation
The customer receives a unique ride OTP.
This OTP serves as a secure ride verification code and helps protect both passengers and drivers.
Step 6: Driver-Customer Communication
Before pickup, customers and drivers can communicate through the platform to:
- Confirm pickup details
- Verify destinations
- Discuss accessibility requirements
- Confirm ride feasibility
Step 7: Ride Verification
When the driver arrives:
- The customer shares the OTP.
- The driver enters or verifies the OTP.
- The system confirms ride authenticity.
Once verified, the ride officially begins.
Step 8: Journey Completion
Upon reaching the destination:
- The driver clicks “End Ride”.
- The ride is marked as completed.
Step 9: Payment Processing
The customer receives a “Pay Now” option.
When payment is confirmed:
- Funds are deducted from the customer’s GoLakhor Wallet.
- The amount is transferred to the driver’s GoLakhor Earnings Account.
- Transaction records are generated for both parties.
Step 10: Ride Completion Record
The system stores:
- Ride details
- Payment information
- Transaction records
- Customer rating data
- Driver performance data
Both parties can review the completed ride from their respective dashboards.
GoLakhor is committed to providing a secure, transparent, and reliable transportation ecosystem by ensuring verified users, protected transactions, ride verification through OTP, wallet-based payments, and comprehensive account management for both customers and drivers.
