In a rather shocking move, the Karnataka Transport Department has done something which the biggest cab aggregators in the country did not expect.
Department of Transport issued a notice to major ride-hailing firms, Ola, Uber, and Rapido to cease the operations of their autos running in the state.
Also, the department has demanded the companies to provide a report on the rising cost of rides.
The notice was issued on the 6th of October and the Transport Department gave the aggregates a total of 3 days to shut down the operations of autos.
As per the provisions under On-Demand Transportation Technology Act 2016 aggregators are given license to provide taxi services only.
"The companies should submit an explanation about illegal autorickshaw operation, you are advised to submit it within 3 days. If not, legal action will be taken,"
Authority, said, “They are not supposed to run autorickshaws with a cab-aggregator licence.
