Days after the Karnataka state government declared the auto services of app-based cab and bike aggregators Ola, Uber and Rapido "illegal", App-based mobility players have responded and said that they have complied with the rules and reduced their minimum auto fare for the first two km back to Rs 30.
Mobility players such as Ola, Uber, and Rapido had been asked to discontinue their auto-rickshaw services in Bengaluru in three days
The issue rose when several commuters registered complaints with the transport department about Ola and Uber charging a minimum of Rs 100, even if the travel distance is less than two kilometres (km). The minimum auto fare in Bengaluru is fixed at Rs 30 for the first two km and Rs 15 for every km thereafter.
