Bengaluru: The Karnataka government has pulled up Ola and Uber cabs for failing to obtain licence to provide cab services in the state. The government has asked the cab aggregators to stop operations if the necessary documents are not in place.
Though both the cab aggregators have applied for license, they have not yet submitted the documents needed for the same.
The government had made it mandatory for aggregators to get a licence in a bid to put an end to surge pricing and to ensure better safety for cab users.
During peak hours, the cab aggregators used to charge two or three times the regular cost, making it unviable for many in the city.
The government has also set specific guidelines for cabs to ensure safety of passengers. These include compulsory background check of drivers, panic button in cabs and continuous GPS monitoring of cabs.
