Transportation Hit In Bhopal As Uber, Ola & Local Taxis Announce Strike To Counter Each Other's Claims— VIDEO

Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: Online cab aggregators Ola and Uber initiated a strike on Wednesday, Day-2 of a conflict with local taxi and autorickshaw unions. The unions demand regulation of e-cab services. This dual strike is expected to disrupt transportation in the city, with stranded passengers reported at Bhopal railway station on Wednesday morning.

Despite attempts to book Ola and Uber, either through higher fares or local taxis, passengers found themselves unable to make reservations. Local taxis and autorickshaws also joined the protest at Board Office Square around 11 am on Wednesday, demanding regulation from Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and Transport Minister Uday Pratap Singh.

They accused Ola, Uber, and Rapido of disrupting the market and impacting pricing, while calling for action against privately numbered commercial vehicles.
