GUWAHATI : Ola-Uber services to stop from 1st of February, 2023. The All Assam Cab Mazdoor Sangha along with All Guwahati Bike Taxi Operator Union concluded that all services will be paused from the mentioned that.
The decision has been made during a press conference on 30th of January, Monday. The association as a whole asserts that, the companies of these cab services are fooling the drivers from a long time.
The company exploits the cab drivers in a way that it gets difficult for the employees under the services to maintain decent life quality. As per the All Assam Cab Mazdoor Sangha, over 18,000 vehicles are registered under the Ola-Uber cab service in the state.
Furthermore, All Guwahati Bike Taxi Operator Union has also decided to pause rapido bike services from 1st of February, 2023.
Notably, in November 2022, the taxi drivers claimed that they would not continue public transportation as long as the state administration does not respond to their plea and take action regarding the same.
Furthermore, the drivers also appealed the government to introduce a new app for their services. During this phase last year, can associations conducted day-long protest. As per the driver's association, more than 1500 accounts of can drivers were closed by the concerned company without any sort of prior notice consent.
While passengers have been repeatedly complaining about extra demands by the drivers, the can drivers on the other hand have been raising the issue of exploitation by the application aggregators.
Several people have raised the issue of sky-touching fares by Ola and Uber cab services. However, the decision to introduce an App-based taxi service in Guwahati by the state administration, follows slew of complaints by passengers as well as cab drivers.
