More coverage of Nepalis fighting in Russia in Aljazeera 10 February 2024, byline Samik Kharel, "Want to go home": Nepalis fighting for Russia in Ukraine describe horrors
"Hailing through Rides" is a wonderful and relatable read. However, it's not only a microcosm of Kathmandu's young male population. As, a regular user of Patho and In Driver it's obvious major riders are male but I did have a few rides with the females. Their minority may be because of several reasons. Felt a kind of void while reading. Overall, I enjoyed this edition.
Actually quite an amazing deep dive, I almost wish that it was longer and that I could know more about the ongoing Kathmandu rideshare saga.
For such a recent change to Kathmandu transportation, I realize that alot of us actually take it for granted, without ever considering how far-reaching of an impact this has on our city.
I did not even consider the employment angle, and how it's providing money for tons of youth in their 20s who struggle to get well-paying jobs. It's so obvious in hindsight. Furthermore, I really wish the socioeconomic impact of rideshares in Kathmandu could be studied and written about. Considering how it enables long distance travel for middle-class families at relatively cheap costs, it probably stimulates the economy by alllowing people, especially women, to access goods and services much more easily, (without having to rely on the slow buses or your own bike).
There's probably so many more niche ways its improving the city that we haven't realized.
