Business Standard
Trust canny Indian cab drivers to take Ola and Uber as well as potential passengers for a ride at the same time. Many drivers in big cities sign up with both the ride-hailing services and use two mobile phones to hunt for the most lucrative rides. Passengers, on the other hand, are often seen waiting for drivers to turn up at the pick-up point. With Ola and Uber fighting to woo reliable drivers, it is easy to see why no action is taken against errant drivers when passengers are charged a minimum of Rs 50 as cancellation fee.
