Ola, Uber, Rapido suffer brief outage across India
On Thursday, ride hailing apps Ola, Uber, and Rapido experienced a brief outage across various Indian cities, including Bengaluru, Delhi, Chennai, and Hyderabad. Users on the social media platform X reported difficulties in booking rides or logging into the apps. One Rapido user, for example, spent over 20 minutes attempting to make a ride booking, encountering repeated technical errors.
Some users even resorted to deleting and reinstalling the app, but to no avail. The outage affected all three platforms during peak hours on August 27.
Rapido confirmed that it had suffered a technical outage and was subsequently restored for all users within a short time frame. However, the specific cause of the disruption remains unknown.
