BMTC sources claim that more and more number of commuters are opting for “share” services provided by Ola and Uber as the costs tend to be much cheaper.

“We have instructed the officers to submit a report in this regard. Severe action will be taken against the companies that are providing the services unlawfully. We have also instructed the RTO to take action against those who don’t have license for such service.”
