Mumbai App Cabs to Charge Meter Fares from Tuesday

Mumbai App Cabs to Charge Meter Fares from Tuesday

Cab drivers in Mumbai, Pune, and Nagpur using apps like Ola and Uber will start charging fares based on the meter, as per government rules.

This is because the apps haven't updated their rates to match the government's new policy from May.

The IGWF is pushing for this change.

The new rates are based on car size.

Passengers will pay more, and students expressed concern.

The government wants to avoid unfair competition with regular taxis.

Drivers and passengers will also face penalties for canceling rides.
