Delhi govt interference: No Uber cab available in capital city, cries commuters

Delhi, April 19: In a recent move by the Delhi government over interference on surge price system by online taxi (aggegators), Delhi's commuters were struggling to get a single cab, as there were less Uber cabs available in the capital city on Tuesday, April 19.

Ola and Uber on Monday, April 19 suspended 'surge pricing' after Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal ordered strict action, including permit cancellation and impounding against overcharging by taxis.

Uber sent the following SMS to commuters in Delhi today considering the troubles faced by commuters in finding cabs when they need them at their desired locations.

"This is the result that today less cab is available in many areas of the capital city", it said.

No surge means that availability and reliability will take a hit. Were working hard on getting more cars out on the road. Bear with us.

Lack of surge pricing hardly affects @Ola_Delhi or @Uber_Delhi. It affects riders and drivers.
