    15-day deadline to Ola, Uber likely to be extended

    As Karnataka awaits the Centre's inputs on regulation of cab-sharing services, the 15-day deadline given to Ola and Uber is likely to be extended. Transport Commissioner M.K. Aiyappa earlier gave the companies three days to withdraw their pool services, but later extended it after they sought new rules to legalize sharing. Cab sharing was deemed illegal as licences don't allow multiple pick-ups and drops.

    4.33 lakh new automobiles added in Bengaluru in 9 months

    Over 4.33 lakh new cars and two-wheelers have been added in Bengaluru in the last nine months, with the highest ever spike for two-wheelers (3.4 lakh). However, ridership on BMTC buses has remained stagnant at 50 lakh since five years. Bengalureans prefer bikes over buses primarily due to convenience and cost-effectiveness. A strict parking policy and congestion pricing could reduce traffic woes.
