Executive Summary

Actowiz Solutions partnered with a mobility platform to conduct real-time ride fare comparison across Uber, DiDi, and Bolt in 7 countries — including the USA, Mexico, UK, China, Australia, Nigeria, and South Africa. Using advanced scraping techniques, our system tracked fare estimates, surge pricing, and ride availability across platforms and service types.

Findings revealed fare differences as high as 35–42%, with DiDi being cheapest in Mexico, Bolt dominating affordability in Africa, and Uber showing dynamic surge patterns in major metros. The data helped our client build a fare aggregator that increased app usage by 18% and reduced user acquisition cost by 23%.

Research Objective

The primary goal of this case study was to:

  • Compare real-time ride fare estimates across Uber, DiDi, and Bolt in overlapping geographies.
  • Detect pricing patterns, including surge pricing, estimated arrival times, and cost per kilometer.
  • Build a backend data pipeline to deliver accurate fare intelligence to a mobility app.
  • Help end-users save money by choosing the most affordable ride in their region.

Platforms & Region Scope

Platform Supported Countries
Uber USA, Mexico, UK, China, Australia, Nigeria, South Africa
DiDi Mexico, China, Australia
Bolt UK, Nigeria, South Africa
7 countries covered:

🇺🇸 United States

🇲🇽 Mexico

🇬🇧 United Kingdom

🇨🇳 China

🇦🇺 Australia

🇳🇬 Nigeria

🇿🇦 South Africa

Data Collection Method

Technologies Used:
Introduction
  • Python + Selenium for dynamic web scraping.
  • Proxies & CAPTCHAs bypass using IP rotation & human-behavior emulation.
  • Google Maps API to standardize coordinates across platforms.
  • Real-time JSON feed delivered to the client via a secure endpoint.
Key Parameters Extracted:
  • Pickup & drop-off address
  • Service type (e.g., UberX, DiDi Express, Bolt Go)
  • Fare estimate (min–max or fixed)
  • ETA (estimated time of arrival)
  • Surge multiplier (if applicable)
  • Timestamp of query

Scraping Frequency: Every 60 minutes for 30 days

Total Data Points Collected: 147,000+ entries

Sample Fare Data Table (Mexico City Route)

Platform Ride Type ETA (mins) Fare (MXN) Surge Multiplier
Uber UberX 3 135 1.0
DiDi DiDi Express 2 102 1.0
Uber Comfort 5 195 1.0
DiDi DiDi Protect 3 130 1.1

Observation: DiDi consistently offered 15–25% cheaper rides in Mexico City during non-peak hours.

Chart: Avg. Fare Comparison (NYC – Times Sq. to JFK)

Introduction

Uber was the only platform available in NYC. However, the data revealed that surge pricing triggered every morning 8–9 AM and evening 5–6:30 PM, raising fares by 1.6x on average.

Key Observations & Market Insights

1. Regional Affordability
  • Bolt was the most economical in Lagos and Johannesburg — 20–30% cheaper than Uber.
  • DiDi dominated low-cost fares in Beijing and Mexico City.
  • Uber had the most dynamic pricing model, with frequent surges.
2. Surge Pricing Analysis
  • Surge occurred more frequently in Uber than in DiDi or Bolt.
  • Highest surge multiplier recorded:
    • Uber (Sydney): 2.4x
    • DiDi (Beijing): 1.8x
    • Bolt (London): 1.5x
3. ETA and Ride Availability
  • Uber had the shortest ETA globally, thanks to better driver density.
  • DiDi had more premium ride types in China and Australia.
  • Bolt showed ride unavailability during certain hours in Nigeria.
4. Cost per Kilometer Comparison
City Uber (USD/km) DiDi (USD/km) Bolt (USD/km)
Sydney 1.25 1.08
Mexico City 0.79 0.62
London 1.10 0.95
Lagos 0.85 0.55
Beijing 1.00 0.80

Technical Challenges Faced

Introduction
  • Anti-scraping walls: DiDi and Bolt required device fingerprinting simulation.
  • Captcha frequency: Increased on DiDi during repeated queries.
  • Platform inconsistency: Different naming conventions and UI layouts per country.
  • Currency normalization: All fares were converted to USD for uniform analysis.

Strategic Business Impact

For the Client (Mobility App)
  • 18% increase in app usage within 2 weeks after integrating fare widget.
  • Reduced user complaints about "price shock" by 34%.
  • Developed trust with users by providing real-time fare transparency.
For Ride-Hailing Partners
  • Opportunity to understand cross-platform competition and dynamic trends.
  • Fare monitoring helped them adjust surge multipliers based on competitor behavior.

Strategic Recommendations

1. Launch price comparison API for all major metro cities with overlapping services.

2. Use real-time alerts for users when a platform goes into surge mode.

3. Target cities with dual-platform presence (e.g., London, Sydney, Lagos) for higher user savings.

4. Build a dashboard for city-wise price monitoring using scraped fare data.

Use Case Extensions

  • Integrate with Google Maps for route-based price comparison
  • Offer ride alerts when platform prices drop by a threshold
  • Provide driver-side insights for fleet efficiency
  • Use sentiment + price data to predict platform preference per region

Conclusion

In today’s competitive ride-hailing landscape, real-time fare comparison isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. Actowiz Solutions’ scraping system enabled a mobility tech player to gain competitive advantage, delight users, and understand regional pricing in depth.

As Uber, DiDi, and Bolt battle for market share globally, the winners will be those who see the data clearly — in real time.
