Dehradun: Commuters in Dehradun faced inconvenience on Tuesday as taxi drivers launched a day’s strike and congregated at regional transport office to demonstrate against mobile cab aggregators such as Rapido and BlablaCar. Protesters alleged these apps are severely impacting their business and have not registered themselves at RTO, which is a violation of guidelines.

RTO Sunil Sharma said white number plate cars are booking and transporting passengers via cab aggregators like Rapido and BlablaCar, which is illegal. “It is also risky for passengers since these vehicles are insured under personal car category. In case of untoward incident, passengers will not be entitled to receive any compensation from govt and insurance company,” he said.

Sharma added that protesting drivers were assured that action was being taken against aggregator cabs. “No aggregator company has procured any licence from the transport department, and all such vehicles will face consequences,” he said. Pankul Sharma
