Ola, Uber, Rapido continue auto-rickshaw service despite ban in Karnataka

Auto-rickshaw hailing services continued to be available on app-based aggregators Ola, Uber and Rapido a day after the Karnataka transport authority banned it.

However, the number of auto-rickshaws logging into these apps seemed to have come down as the waiting time in some places went up from an average of seven minutes to 12-15 minutes.

Transport Commissioner T H M Kumar had announced that the three companies agreed to stop providing the feature to hail auto-rickshaws on their apps starting from Wednesday.
