Big decision of cab drivers in Lucknow, cab drivers strike, 1 lakh passengers affected. Cab drivers will not run Uber-Rapid in Lucknow: Will take booking of only Ola cabs for 10 days; 80 thousand passengers will be affected – Lucknow News

,

Cab drivers say that the companies are paying them an average of only Rs 7-8 for riding one kilometre. Due to this, it is becoming difficult to meet the expenses of the vehicle. Our demand is that the driver should be given the correct commission for the ride.

Cab drivers said- We are being charged 30 to 35% commission, which should be reduced to 15%. The rate should be determined per kilometer. Drivers should also be provided insurance facilities.

Demand to run only Ola cabs in Lucknow

2 thousand cab drivers have decided to run Ola cabs in Lucknow. Cab drivers say that 80 percent drivers only talked about driving Ola. Because Ola has agreed to pay Rs 15 per kilometer to the drivers.

The people of Uber, Rapid and these drive cab companies have not talked to us about which company will pay us well. We will work with him only. For this, a demand will be made to run only Ola cabs by putting up pamphlets from tomorrow. Along with this, talks will also be held with other companies.

Ola agreed to the demand and will do the work

President of the organization, Zahid Pradhan says that they will trial Ola cabs for 10 days from tomorrow. If Ola gives us good payment then we will work with it, otherwise we will not. During this time, cab drivers are being asked to delete all the apps except Ola. Also, they are being asked to cooperate in the trial for 10 days. So that Ola drivers can get benefit.

Cab driver said – I am not even able to meet the expenses of the car.

Cab driver Anand Singh says that the biggest problem is money. If you drive for 13-14 kilometres, you are getting only Rs 100. After buying a car worth seven-eight lakhs, it is becoming difficult to even meet its expenses. There are better auto drivers than us, who are charging Rs 150-200.

Neeraj Yadav told that he is not able to meet the expenses of the car. We have voted. In this, we will give Ola a chance first. From tomorrow we will run only Ola rides in the city. Two thousand cab drivers have taken this decision. We will give opportunity to the companies one by one, whoever listens to the problems of the drivers, we will work with that company.
