Ola, Uber drivers go on strike in Delhi-NCR asking fare hike

A section of drivers working with cab aggregators Ola and Uber are on strike on Monday as they demand a fare hike affecting services in several parts of Delhi-NCR. The drivers are demanding the base fare to be at least Rs 100. At present, the fare is somewhere around Rs 30-35 as base fare and Rs 6-7 for subsequent kilometer run as a minimum.

Speaking to media, an Ola driver said, “We are provided Rs 6-7 per kilometer which is even less than that the auto drivers are getting. We are doing this protest so that the company issues a rise in the base fare and we will keep protesting until the fare is hiked, even if it takes weeks we will continue our protest.” 

The cab drivers’ protest has caused inconvenience to passengers who take cabs to office and other destinations on daily basis. The strike has left many commuters horrified and some worried passengers even took to Twitter to vent out their woes due to the long wait to book cabs and then cancellations by the drivers. Many commuters in several parts of Mumbai have also reported facing cab cancellations and fare surge during the day.
