The state government had on Thursday issued a notice to Ola, Uber and other taxi aggregators for violating the Kaཧrn🌸ataka On-demand Transportation Technology Aggregators Rule 2016 by illegally operating autorickshaws and overcharging from the customers.
However, the cab aggregators have shown no sign of falling in line with the government order. "We had given them three days to stop ღtheir services. We also had asked them in our notice to furnish details if they have any to us in🌺 this duration. They have not responded yet. So, the enforcement will start from tomorrow," a senior transport department official told PTI.
On Sunday as well, the autorickshaw services were operating and the charges remained exorbi🧜tan🌳t compared to the meter-based regular charges. An autorickshaw driver Manjunath, who is associated with a cab aggregator firm, said he would like to see the government taking action.
"We had seen a similar notice servedꦇ to the cab aggregators just before the elections but no action was taken again. Now once again when the assembly ♚elections are nearing, similar notice has been served. I want to see the government taking action," he said.
