Uber Cabs Continue to Work Despite the Ban

The recent rape case by an Uber driver had shook the country. There are plenty of questions being asked regarding how safe women are in the city, and if the concerned authorities are taking enough actions in this regards.

On Monday, the Road Transport Association had announced to ban Uber cab services and all other web-based radio taxis in Delhi. However, it seems that the ban was just an eyewash. On Tuesday itself, we were able to book an Uber cab from Kalkaji to Aero City (which is very close to the T3 airport) and come back using the Ola Cab services.

Though we realise that banning cabs and taxis is not the permanent solution to arrest the case of rapes happening all across India, but it is shocking to see that the company of such repute flouts rules to this extend.

There is definitely a need to get more vigilance across the cabs that ply in India, and here are a few things that we think that should be done to make sure that women’s safety is not compromised in the coming times.
