Sitting on his parked motorbike beside an upscale restaurant in Lazimpat, Uttam Kumar Rai, his head bowed, stares intermittently at his smartphone’s Pathao app, a ride-sharing app.
It’s almost noon, and Rai has just completed a ride request from Boudha to Lazimpat. And until he gets a new ride request on the app, all Rai can do is wait.
After around 10 minutes of waiting, a ride request pops up. Rai is quick to accept it, and he speeds away.
