Commuters face hardship as Uber, Ola on strike

The commuters continue to face a hard time on Tuesday as the app-based cab services Uber and Ola remained off the roads and only limited vehicles were available in the city.

While the Chandigarh Administration convened a meeting with a delegation of drivers of cab services to resolve the issue of entry fee, the drivers announced to continue their strike over other demands.

The cab aggregators Uber and Ola are in a deadlock with drivers over payment of the ‘entry fee’ being charged by the Chandigarh State Transport Authority (STA). The entry fee is charged from cabs, which are not registered in Chandigarh.

The STA had last week asked both Uber and Ola to pay the unpaid ‘entry fee’.
