The prompt
Estimate how many ride-hailing trips (cab, auto and bike taxi) are completed in a large metro city in a day.
Extra context you can assume
- You can approach it from the demand side (riders) or the supply side (drivers).
A strong answer usually covers
- Choose an approach and justify it.
- Segment riders by usage frequency or trip purpose (commute, airport, leisure).
- Consider peak vs off-peak and weekday vs weekend.
- Cross-check with the supply side: active drivers × trips per driver.
- Mention what data would sharpen the estimate.
