Commuters faced hardship on Monday to get to their offices or desired locations on time, due to autorickshaw and cab unions’ strike. The unions are demanding a subsidy on the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and a fare revision in the wake of rising fuel prices.
The impact of the strike was visible as autos, cabs, feeder buses were hardly available at transport hubs like railway stations, Inter State Bus Terminals (ISBTs) and Metro stations across the city in the morning and during peak hours.
Many passengers complained that they had to wait a long time for Ola and Uber cabs, and added that those were available at inflated rates.
