Amidst complaints of taxi aggregators charging exorbitant fares, the Transport Department on Friday carried out a drive against Ola, Uber and other operators. Transport Commissioner T.H.M. Kumar told The Hindu that 292 cases have been booked for charging excess fares.
The drive was carried out at various places such as Anand Rao Circle, Majestic, KSR-Bengaluru railway station, Jayanagar bus stand, Hennur cross road, Devanahalli road near Kempegowda International Airport and others.
The officials have maintained that action has been taken against the aggregators following complaints from the general public. It is said that some of the passengers even sent out email complaints to the Chief Minister and other top functionaries in the government seeking action.
