HC directs Karnataka to hold talks with Uber, Ola to sort out auto fare issue

The Karnataka High Court on Thursday asked the state government to hold another round of talks with the app-based auto-ride hailing providers such as Uber and Ola to try reach an understanding on fares of auto rides booked on their apps.

Uber and Ola moved the court to challenge the state transport department’s notice asking them to stop accepting auto-rides on their apps forthwith.
