Actions on Discussions
I dont know but there is something about this localcircles and corelated Govt action that makes me wonder if PM, Ministers, CMs have their ps or advisors in these circles. I guess its a good thing, would be better if we knew who exactly was respresented. Multiple cases in point and the most recent one on app taxis in 2-3 circles. See below:
State Governments Seek to Regulate Taxi Aggregators
Last week Karnataka became the first state to introduce state-prescribed fares for taxi aggregators. In addition to set fares, taxis will have to fix digital meters with printers and register themselves with local transport authorities. Maharashtra, with two of the largest taxi hailing markets – Mumbai and Pune – is set to follow this example. According to a source in the Maharashtra state government, their proposed rules go beyond the scope of Karnataka’s. These will include fare determination based on the cost of the vehicle and its engine capacity; regulation of taxi numbers through an induction schedule, which could adversely impact the employment of driver partners of taxi aggregators; and the ability to cancel licenses for non-compliance.
Different states have responded differently to the entry of transport aggregators. For instance, both Uber and Ola have capitalized on the Delhi government’s call for car sharing as the city struggles to combat its high pollution. Ride sharing services were introduced in Delhi in January with no government resistance, unlike in Karnataka.
This is why Uber and Ola have so far focused on undercutting each other’s pricing to build their respective customer bases. Strict regulation of taxi prices will hurt their business strategies, though benefiting customers in the long run. more

App based taxi service has become a boon especially in Chennai. Auto services are yet to pick up. Even then the auto operators or other taxi people have not corrected themselves and exploit the customer every time. Not even obenin 20/25 autos come on meter charges. If atcall he comes, the meter is tampered. Necessity is the mother of invention -- here too, the App based taci. But they too need checking about their Dyna tariff. more

Yes there is a need to regulate taxi aggregators to avoid exploitation of passengers. In prime time they charge 2.3 X as ordinary service is not available. In off peak hours taxis de-link & thus again are not available. Passengers are helpless & happen to always pay much more. more
