Bike taxi service providers Ola and Uber have applied to the Maharashtra government for an aggregator license. An official of the Regional Transport Office (RTO) gave this information on Friday. Aggregator license has become mandatory for companies providing app based cab service under the guidelines brought by the Central and Maharashtra government.
At present, the government is not able to take effective action on the violation of rules by these service provider companies and the situation can change by taking aggregator license. App based taxis and autos are operating in Maharashtra since 2014. Acting on the direction of the Supreme Court, the two companies have applied to Mumbai’s Tardeo RTO, which has jurisdiction over almost the entire city, the official said.
Bharat Kalaskar, Regional Transport Officer of Tardeo RTO said that he has received applications from Ola, Uber three-four days back. He informed that the applications are being scrutinized and after that they will be forwarded to the Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Transport Authority (MMRTA) for taking a decision on grant of licences.
