People who are eager to celebrate the new year, travelling to the places in the cabs, would end up disappointing, as the cab services in Hyderabad were called off from today to January 4th.

Ola and Uber drivers in Hyderabad have called for a five-day strike to protest against low earnings due to the number of vehicles and insufficient bookings, due to which they are unable to meet car loan instalments and other expenses.

According to the driver associations, the managements of Ola and Uber have not responded to the demands of the drivers. As of now, while there are 20000 cabs under Ola, there are more than 33000 cabs under Uber, in Hyderabad.

Ola and Uber managements are giving more booking-calls to the new drivers who took cars on their cab-leasing programme. This is making the less earnings to the cab owners who kept their vehicles with the company from the beginning.
