Commuters in Mumbai were affected by the day-long strike called by cab aggregators and many complained of cancellations, delayed arrivals and non-availability of cabs. Many Rapido bike riders were also targeted, and stopped from plying by striking drivers.
Citizens were inconvenienced at Mumbai and Pune airports and many had to wait back in the airport area. One commuter said there were issues in getting the cab online, too. “There was total chaos on Thursday,” said Ranjan Guha, another commuter.
“The strike was called for the demand that fares fixed by the transport department be displayed on apps like Ola, Uber, Rapido, and that bike taxis be stopped at once,” Dr Keshav Nana Kshirsagar, president of Bharatiya Gig Kamgar Manch, said.
