Hyderabad Gig Workers Fear Losses From KBR Park Detours

Hyderabad Gig Workers Fear Losses From KBR Park Detours

In the city of Hyderabad, the roads around a big park called KBR Park are changing.

Soon, many roads there will only go one way.

People who drive taxis, ride bikes to give rides, and deliver food are worried.

They say the new routes will make their trips longer.

Longer trips mean they spend more time and fuel, so they earn less money.

If apps like Google Maps do not show the new roads, customers might be charged the wrong fare.

Then drivers could get blamed for something that is not their fault.

Delivery workers have timers, and being late can cost them wages.

Workers also worry about traffic jams, cancellations, and lower ratings.

They hope the new traffic plan does not hurt their income.
