Chandigarh Suspends Uber and Rapido Licences for Six Months Over Policy Violations
Chandigarh's State Transport Authority suspended the aggregator licences of Uber and Rapido for six months due to non-compliance with the Chandigarh Administration Motor Vehicles Aggregators Rules, 2025. The companies failed to submit required documents and meet provisions related to driver insurance, training, fare structures, and vehicle eligibility despite multiple notices. This follows earlier suspensions of Ola and inDrive, leaving Bharat Taxi as the only major app-based ride service in the city. The move affects daily commuters relying on app-based transport in the Tricity area.
