Following the launch of Ola’s first self-driven car-sharing service in Bengaluru, app-based cab aggregator on Friday said it was experiencing a sharp spike in demand for ‘Ola Drive’ in the run up to Christmas and the new year.

Since its customer pilot launch in October, the category has seen a steady rise in the number of bookings, with a growth of over 100 per cent in day-to-day demands scheduled for holidays vis-a-vis regular weekends, it said in a release.

The average number of kilometres and hours pre-booked by customers has also quadrupled for the upcoming holiday season.
