However, the tribunal deferred its decision, granting a new date in January.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Silence on Ola:<\/strong> The tribunal addressed Uber\u2019s case but did not comment on Ola\u2019s operational licence, frustrating drivers and unions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gig Worker Frustration:<\/strong> Keshav Kshirsagar, head of the gig workers union, criticized the repeated delays and lack of clarity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Background:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In March 2024, District Collector Suhas Diwase rejected licence applications for Ola and Uber, citing non-compliance with the Motor Vehicles Aggregators\u2019 Guidelines, 2020. The RTO was directed to reject these applications formally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Revised Taxi Fares:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this year, the Regional Transport Authority (RTA) revised taxi fares:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Air-Conditioned Cabs:<\/strong> \u20b937 for the first 1.5 km, \u20b925 for each additional km.<br>Despite the updates, Ola and Uber did not comply with the new fare structure, aggravating tensions with driver unions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gig Worker Discontent:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The tribunal\u2019s repeated postponements have sparked widespread disappointment among drivers. Representatives from various unions expressed exhaustion over the endless cycle of hearings without resolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deputy Regional Transport Officer Swapnil Bhosale confirmed the new hearing date for Uber\u2019s case but said no official updates on Ola\u2019s matter have been provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implications:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The ongoing delays in resolving operational permit issues for Ola and Uber highlight systemic challenges faced by gig workers and app-based platforms. With hearings pushed to January, drivers and unions remain in limbo, awaiting clarity on their future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The State Transport Appellate Tribunal (STAT) has postponed its decision on Uber\u2019s operational permit in Pune, rescheduling the hearing to January 19, 2024.
