Chandigarh Suspends Uber and Rapido Licences for Six Months Over Policy Non-Compliance
Chandigarh's State Transport Authority has suspended the aggregator licences of Uber and Rapido for six months due to non-compliance with the Chandigarh Aggregator Policy, 2025. Both companies failed to submit required documents and provide satisfactory responses despite multiple notices. The suspension affects app-based cab and bike-taxi services, which form a significant part of daily commutes. The policy includes provisions on driver welfare, insurance, training, and fare adherence, with previous suspensions issued to other platforms like Ola and inDrive for similar violations.
