Starting January, Delhi government would make sure that both Delhi’s traffic and the polluted air that floats in Delhi are kept under check. It would be done by cutting the number of private cars on its roads by about half, allowing private cars with odd digits as registration numbers on one day and those with even on the next. The Delhi government is also making sure that there are enough buses, autorickshaws and Metro coaches to accommodate the resulting number of people relying on Delhi public transports. 
 On the other hand, the brains behind taxi companies and car aggregators such as <keyword id="1042120" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Uber">Uber</keyword>, <keyword id="6354720" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ola">Ola</keyword> and <keyword id="205081" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Meru">Meru</keyword> Cabs are already planning on steps to take the best advantage of this step taken by the <keyword id="260213" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Arvind-Kejriwal">Arvind Kejriwal</keyword> government. 
 Uber, for example, is planning to launch <keyword id="6591085" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="UberPool">UberPool</keyword>, its car pooling service, in Delhi after a successful run in Bengaluru. While Bangalore UberPool service is only meant for commercial vehicles, the Delhi arm would target the 28 lakh private car owners. 
 
Meru, on the other hand, will be launching a mobile app in January so that passengers can pool cabs online. "The app will identify two people within a radius of two-three km travelling in the same direction and can share their taxi ride," Meru CEO Siddhartha Pahwa told ET. "The driver will pick one person first and within 10 minutes will also pick up the second person." Meru, which is already running many cabs on Delhi roads, is expecting almost 30% rise in the demand for cabs during the trial period. To attract customers, it would offer 35% discount for ride sharing. Even if a passenger can't find someone to share the ride, he or she would still be given the discount. 
 
Ola, the taxi aggregator service, recently launched minibus shuttle services in Gurgaon and Noida, which they plan to extend to Delhi. The taxi-sharing app is being beta-tested in Bengaluru right now, and could very well be rolled out in NCR to make use of the odd-even rule. 
 
Delhi is one of the world's most heavily polluted cities, which is why the government has planned to launch this odd-even scheme. Starting January 1, a 15-day trial period would begin between 8 am and 8 pm, Monday to Saturday. As per the rule, odd-numbered cars would be allowed to run on odd dates and those with even numbers would be allowed on even dates. 
 
Home Minister Rajnath Singh has given his support to this the plan at a recent meeting he had Delhi CM Kejriwal. It means that Delhi Police, which comes under the control of the central government, would be taken on board to ease the application of this rule. 
 
To discuss a carpooling policy, fleet owners and taxi aggregators, including representatives of Pool my Ride, Embarq India, Tripda.in, Carzonrent, Uber, Ola, Shuttl.com, NearGroup.in, Ibibo Ryde, Mega Carpool Pvt., Mega Cabs, LetsDriveAlong.com, BaxiTaxi, Orahi and 
Cykul, had a meeting with the members of the Delhi Dialogue Commission, which serves as the think tank of the Delhi government.

Cab aggregators to reap the benefits of Delhi’s Odd-Even car rule

The ban on plying of 27,000 diesel-run taxis came into effect today even as its real impact is likely to be felt only tomorrow, the first working day after the imposition of restriction. 
 
The <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=supreme+court&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Supreme Court</a> yesterday refused to extend the April 30 deadline fixed for the diesel-run taxis for their conversion into <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=CNG&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">CNG</a> mode. 
 
Authorities in various locations today impounded diesel-run cabs plying on the local routes in the national capital. 
 
 
 
"Instructions have been issued to concerned authorities, including transport department, to impound diesel-run taxis plying in Delhi-NCR," said a senior government official. 
 According to <keyword id="66" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Delhi">Delhi</keyword> transport department, about 60,000 taxis are registered in the national capital and of them 27,000 are running on diesel. 
 
Around 2,000 diesel-run taxis had converted into CNG mode in the last two months. 
 
The SC order is not applicable on cabs having All India Permits but most of the diesel cabs ply on local routes. The ban will essentially bring down the availability of cabs in the capital. 
 
"As per rule, taxis having All India permit are required to cover a distance of around 200 km. Taxis having All India permits cannot ply from one point to other point inside Delhi, Noida and Ghaziabad," the official said. 
 Cabs going off roads may inconvenience thousands of commuters as many <keyword id="3344947" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="diesel-taxis">diesel taxis</keyword> ferry people from Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon and Ghaziabad. 
 
"We can't keep on extending the time. We are not extending it now and not going to make any exceptions. There is technology available, you convert," a three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur had yesterday said while rejecting the plea that it would affect livelihood of poor drivers. 
 
The bench, also comprising Justices A K Sikri and R Banumathi, had on March 31, extended the deadline till yesterday for conversion of all diesel taxis to CNG.

Ban on diesel-run taxis comes into effect in Delhi-NCR

The Delhi High Court will today hear the appeal of <keyword id="1042120" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Uber">Uber</keyword> and <keyword id="6362049" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ola-Cabs">Ola Cabs</keyword> against the ban imposed on them by Delhi’s <keyword id="62110" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="transport-department">Transport Department</keyword>. On January 1, the Transport Department had refused to lift the ban, saying “there are no grounds to review the ban imposed.” 
 
The Delhi government had banned all web-based taxi operators in December last year after a taxi driver working with Uber allegedly raped a woman. Uber and Ola had approached the Delhi High Court requesting quashing of the ban orders. 
 
The Transport Department had said in its order: "They (web-based taxi operators) provide a simple taxi service by transporting people from one point to another through a vehicle driven by a driver for a fee, which is collected by the petitioner company directly from the passenger. Being a taxi service provider they are required to follow the law of the land and by using an AITP (All India Tourist Permit) taxi for local point to point drop, as in the present case, the petitioner has violated the prevailing law of the land and as it was not registered, which again was a violation.”

A TaxiBot is a semi-robotic machine controlled by a pilot that will hold the planes, stationed at the apron area, by their nose wheel and lift them slightly. The plane’s pilot will then, transport the plane from the terminal gate to the runway without switching on the aircraft’s engine before take-off to enable warm-ups and technical checks. The TaxiBot can attain a maximum speed of 23 knots. IIT Kanpur has reported that aircrafts contribute to the air pollution and the institution’s 2016 study of <keyword id="66" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Delhi">Delhi</keyword>’s air pollution stated that at least 2% of the city’s pollution comes from aircrafts and that most of the emission from aircraft is during the LTO (landing and take-off) cycle. The electric wheels of TaxiBot are expected to decrease this pollution. Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) officials note that during the certificate trials, the cost of fuel used during the taxiing was reduced by 85%. The bot will also reduce damage to the plane’s brakes. Whenever a plane applies its brakes, the nose wheel receives the entire pressure of all its weight. However, now the pressure will be on the TaxiBots, leading to lesser damage. The Delhi airport is expected to benefit in many different ways if the plan is implemented well. It will reduce the congestion at boarding gates and it will also reduce the risks of jet blasts. The air quality of the places around the airport is expected to improve as the emission of harmful gases like carbon dioxide will decrease. The noise pollution in these areas might also reduce by a significant margin. At present, the plane engines get switched on after passengers board and fuel is wasted by keeping engines on as the plane taxis to the runway. A trial of the TaxiBots will begin in September, which will last for three months ans is in association with KSU Aviation Pvt Ltd. This company will provide DIAL with the TaxiBots that have already been developed by <keyword id="621699" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Israel-Aerospace-Industries">Israel Aerospace Industries</keyword> (IAI).

<ul><li>Uber asked the Delhi government to allow them to use 5,000 bike-taxis during the odd-even scheme. </li><li>As of now, regulations do not allow bike-taxis to operate in Delhi. </li><li>The company also proposed to re-deploy 2,500 bikes from its food delivery network (UberEats) to work as bike-taxis. </li></ul> US-based ride hailing platform Uber has made a submission to the Delhi government offering use of 5,000 bike-taxis to improve first and last mile connectivity during the odd-even scheme to be implemented next month, according to sources. Currently, regulations do not allow bike-taxis to operate in Delhi. According to sources, Uber has made the submission to the Delhi government proposing to deploy 5,000 bike-taxis to help ferry one lakh commuters to and from Metro stations every week. The service is proposed to be offered for a fee of Rs 5 per ride, they added. The company, which competes with Bengaluru-based Ola, has also proposed to re-deploy 2,500 bikes from its food delivery network (UberEats) to work as bike-taxis during the odd-even scheme that will be implemented from November 4-15. Uber did not respond to e-mailed queries on the matter. A Delhi government official said a proposal was received from the cab aggregator but no decision has been taken on it as yet. One of the persons aware of the development said bike-sharing provides a huge opportunity to unlock the potential of shared mobility through optimal utilisation of existing vehicles on the road. The person said Uber, in its submission, has cited data that one out of two UberMOTO trips in Gurugram began or ended at a Metro station, while one in four such trips in Noida began or ended near a Metro station. The odd-even scheme has been proposed as part of a slew of measures to combat high level of air pollution in Delhi caused due to stubble burning in neighbouring states during winters. During the 12-day scheme, vehicles will ply alternately on odd and even dates as per their registration numbers. In the previous two experiments in January and April in 2016, a fine of Rs 2,000 was imposed on violators of the rule. In the past, two-wheelers and female commuters were exempted from the rule.

Uber wants to run bike taxis to go with Delhi's odd-even scheme

In a setback to <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=ola+cabs">Ola cabs</a>, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=delhi+high+court">Delhi High Court</a> dismissed its plea challenging a single-judge order upholding <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=delhi+government">Delhi government</a>'s ban on such taxi services. 
 
"Appeal dismissed," a bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Jayant Nath said. 
 
On July 29, single-judge, in his interim order, had directed Delhi government's transport department and traffic police to "strictly enforce" the January 1 ban. 
 
The single-judge also sought an undertaking from ANI Technologies, which operates under the brand name of Ola that it will comply with the court's order. 
 
On August 4, the division bench had reserved its order after hearing arguments on Ola's plea. Ola accused single-judge of overlooking <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=supreme+court">Supreme Court</a>'s orders on the kind of taxis that can run on city's roads. 
 
Ola had argued that other non-app based taxi organisations come under <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=radio+taxi+scheme">Radio Taxi Scheme</a> and Ola does not own the vehicles that run under their brand and only connects the taxis with customers. 
 
The company released an official statement stating, "We respect the Honorable Divisional Bench's order on commercial diesel vehicles on all aggregator platforms in the state of New Delhi, as well as on those plying independently. We are working closely with the authorities to help and support the thousands of driver entrepreneurs and lakhs of citizens in the state, who use the Ola app." 
 
The Delhi government had said the All India Tourist Permit (AITP) vehicles that operate under Ola brand are meant for tourist destinations and not point-to-point service in city. 
 
In this regard, the single-judge admonished Ola for not complying with the ban imposed on it by Delhi government on January 01 this year and refused to grant it any interim relief. 
 
The single-judge had refused to provide any relief to Ola. 
 
The court had earlier questioned how Ola was operating in Delhi when the city government's order banning them had not been stayed and warned of a shutdown if it thought it was above the law.

Ola cabs remains banned in Delhi as high court dismisses plea

Across major Indian cities a silent revolution is brewing among taxi drivers who are gaining from the advent of a new breed of startups that are transforming the industry. 
 
Monthly income of several taxi drivers have at least tripled and a few with leadership skills have become entrepreneurs themselves, by managing scores of other drivers. 
 
The startups, which use technology to manage this network of drivers and link them to customers, earn a 2-5 per cent commission from the driver on every trip. Companies like Olacabs, TaxiForSure, Meru and Uber are making a dent in India's taxi-rentals market estimated at about $ 6 billion. 
 
In the process, they are changing the lives of thousands of drivers. ET takes a close look at five people who have benefited enormously from this rising trend.

	According to an ET report, the transport authorities in the national capital had started penalizing cabs that were operating under Ola and Uber after the Delhi government issued ban orders imposed in December. The ban was issued after a 25 year old woman accused Uber driver of rape. 
	 It should be noted that the <keyword id="6355014" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Delhi-High-Court">Delhi High Court</keyword> asserted that the government's ban was not valid and could not be the sole basis to reject the taxi operators’ application to operate its taxis in the city.

Taxi owners had pleaded before the court that there's no technology available in the market to convert a diesel car into one that uses CNG. 
 
"We gave sufficient time for private taxis to convert to CNG and we are not inclined to extend the deadline," the apex court told the operators.

Taxi aggregator <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=ola&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Ola</a> has applied for a city <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=taxi+licence&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">taxi licence</a> in national capital, New Delhi under the name <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=ola+fleet&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Ola Fleet</a>. 
 
The app-only cab aggregator had applied for the licence on June 1 and the permit typically takes 30-40 days to be granted. 
 "New Delhi is one of the top three cities for both <keyword id="6354720" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ola">Ola</keyword> and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=uber&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Uber</a>," ET quoted one of the sources as saying. 
 In July only, Ola got a licence to operate as an "on-demand transportation aggregator" in Bengaluru, whereas <keyword id="1042120" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Uber">Uber</keyword>'s application was rejected due to incomplete paperwork. 
 
"While Ola is trying to legalise its models to be on the right side of the government and investors, Uber is hitting the court with recommendations to the scheme and hoping to maintain the status quo till favourable regulations are passed," an official told ET.

Last year, the Delhi government had introduced the city taxi scheme, under which any one licence-holder cannot register more than 2,500 cars and needs to follow conditions such as installation of <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=GPS&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">GPS</a> devices, taxi meters and fare regulation. 
 
Also, licence-holder will have to ensure every taxi is a motor cab with a valid fitness certificate issued by the transport department, is driven on CNG, LPG, has an engine capacity of 600 cc and above and a seating capacity not exceeding seven, inclusive of the driver. 
 
"Already, both companies have created an incentive structure in a way that makes it impossible for drivers to work with both the companies. With the leasing model, both Ola and Uber want to secure supply," Jaspal Singh, cofounder of the transportation sector consultancy Valoriser Consultants, told ET.

 According to a media report, TaxiForSure, which had applied through its subsidiary Serendipity <keyword id="2704273" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Infolabs">Infolabs</keyword>, has the highest number of gaps in its application. On the other hand, OlaCabs had just a single gap. 
 
Media reports further suggest that Uber has not got the company registered. Some of the other things lacking in its application are an undertaking for parking, telephone number, email address and the address proof of its registered office. 
 
Uber says that it should come under the Information Technology Act as it is a technology-based platform and not a taxi company. 
Aprameya Radhakrishna, co-founder and director, TaxiForSure, said, “We are working on the clarifications sought by them and we are in the process to submit the same.” 
 
“We are confident that the government and the authorities will agree that our business model is unique and will be open to include regulations that are best suited for the new-age business model,” he added.
