Ola Uber Strike

Drivers plan to continue using local aggregator-apps like Namma Yatri, which charge a fixed daily subscription fee instead of commission-based deductions

The Ola, Uber strike had begun on March 19 but only Mumbai has seen a significant impact; however, a complete shutdown might hit commuters in Delhi-NCR today
