With operations of app-based taxis in the national capital on Delhi government’s radar due to surge pricing, some officials of taxi-aggregator Uber on Thursday met the chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and apprised him of his business model.
“Some officials from Uber today met the chief minister at the Delhi Secretariat and discussed a range of issues, including surge pricing, diesel cars and permits,” an official said.
Sources said that apart from surge pricing, the government has objection on per minute charge and vehicles which are registered outside Delhi. Transport minister Gopal Rai on Thursday again clarified that the ban on surge pricing will continue.
On Wednesday, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had termed as “daylight robbery” the surge pricing by app-based taxi operators, and said overcharging and blackmailing won’t be allowed in the national capital.
“Surge pricing is daylight robbery. No responsible govt can allow that,” he had tweeted.
