People from across the city faced commuting challenges on Monday as the Ola and Uber labour unions went on an indefinite strike from afternoon. More drivers are likely to join the strike today. Though most of the cabs were off roads, the few that were out were available at rates two to three times higher than usual and also after long waiting hours.

According to sources, the basic demand of the Maharashtra Rajya Rashtriya Kamgar Sangh is to increase earnings. Speaking to mid-day, labour union secretary, Sunil Borkar, said, "The cabs will not be back on road till our issues are resolved."
