Ola and Uber services may soon get banned in Karnataka

Cab services Ola and Uber may soon to stop their services in Karnataka. The state transport department said that the government has implemented the Karnataka On-demand Transportation Technology Aggregator Rules 2016, which requires businesses to hold “effective licence issued to him under these rules”.

tTaxi aggregators who are yet to obtain relevant licences should immediately stop operations, a move which could put a spanner on the operations of Ola and Uber, at least temporarily. A statement issued by the commissioner of transport’s office on Saturday stated. “Web-based aggregators had to obtain licences to operate cabs and taxis.

But many aggregator companies have not obtained licences, but are operating such cabs. This is a gross violation under sec-93 r/w 193 of the Motor Vehicles Act. Hence, companies which have not obtained licences from the concerned authority should stop operations with immediate effect otherwise strict action will be taken against such operators,” the statement said.
