Ola, Uber rickshaws banned in Bengaluru after complaints about overcharging

@the_news_21

It’s always convenient to book a ride with a few taps on your smartphone instead of looking for a cab late at night or when you are running late for a meeting. But ride hailing platforms are known to squeeze out exorbitant rates in lieu of the easy mobility that they are offering in Indian cities. After being pulled up over surge pricing and cancellation charges, now Ola, Uber and Rapido have been barred from providing auto-rickshaw services in Bengaluru.

The three ride aggregators have received notices from the Karnataka Transport Department, ordering them to stop their rickshaw operations within three days. The decision came after commuters complained about the companies overcharging them even for short distances. Many have also called out Ola and Uber for charging at least Rs 100, even if they travel for less than two kilometres. The transport commissioner has also mentioned that aggregators are only allowed to provide cab services, a the auto-rickshaw services are going against regulations.
