Ola & Uber to be part of Karnataka’s uniform taxi fare scheme: Check new price structure here

In a bid to help the commuters, Karnataka government has issued a new diktat on uniform taxi fare in the state. The latest order by the Karnataka Transport Department will cover all taxis plying in the state. Most importantly, cabs run by both Ola and Uber will also come under the new rule. This means that usual city taxis, which have meters to check the fare, and app-based taxis services will have a common fare structure. The PTI report says that the fare structure has come into force with immediate effect. The new uniform fare structure removes the possibility of surge pricing by the app-based taxi services. So far, neither Ola nor Uber have released any statement in this regard.
