Ola-Uber Strike

The Union stated that taxi fares in Delhi-NCR have not been revised for nearly 15 years despite a steep rise in the prices of CNG, petrol and diesel, along with increased costs of vehicle maintenance

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

Ola, Uber say initiatives in place to satisfy interests of driver partners, but changing pricing to create a self-sustaining model may be the way forward

An Ola spokesperson, in a separate statement, confirmed that the strike had been called off with immediate effect.

While drivers have a host of grievances against Uber and Ola, the biggest one is about the monthly income they were promised

Ola and Uber drivers are on an indefinite strike alleging their earnings are not enough for them to make ends meet

The transport wing of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena had called for a strike of drivers at both Uber and Ola from Monday

Union leaders said that drivers in other cities like New Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune among others would also be participating in the strike
