Ola not to charge surge prices during odd-even in Delhi

Cab aggregator – Ola – has decided not to charge “peak price”, better known as surge pricing on cab rides during the odd-even road-use rationing scheme that will run in Delhi between November 4 and November 15.

BusinessLine had reported on Friday about Ola planning to cap the surge price during odd-even phase. Ola’s counterpart Uber has already committed to Delhi government that it would put a ceiling limit to surge pricing and not charge 1.5 times of its base fare. A car pooling company Quick Ride has waived off the commission it charges from the users during the ten day period.

In a statement Ola said it would be supporting the Government’s efforts to combat the poor air quality in the National Capital.
