Chandigarh Faces Cab Shortage and Fare Hikes Amid License Suspensions
Chandigarh residents face commuting challenges after the administration suspended licenses of major cab aggregators like Uber, Rapido, Ola, and InDrive for rule violations, leaving only Bharat Taxi operational. This has led to higher fares, limited availability, and frequent cancellations. Residents and experts urge the administration to balance passenger safety, fair driver earnings, and affordable fares by increasing licensed cabs, regulating fares transparently, and establishing grievance mechanisms through dialogue with stakeholders.
