Local Taxi Unions Win Over Ola, Uber In Lonavala. Cab Services To Shut ‘Outgoing Services’ In The City

Cab service aggregators Ola and Uber have faced yet another blow from local taxi unions, this time in Lonavala. Amidst regular fierce protests, the city authorities have asked the app-based cab services to stop their ‘outgoing services’ within the Lonavala Municipal Council limits in the city.

Ola and Uber can now bring in passengers from different cities to Lonavala, however, cannot pick the outstation passengers from the city itself. On one hand, this will certainly affect the ride economics for both the companies. On the other hand, with empty return taxis, the companies might be forced to completely stop their outstation cab services in the city.
