New Rule: Ola-Uber taxis will now retire in 8 years in Delhi, driver will have to put license at this place
New Rule For Cab Aggregators: Cab aggregators like Ola, Uber, and Rapido will no longer be able to run vehicles older than eight years in Delhi. Under the new guidelines of the Central Government, it will now be mandatory to conduct mental tests of drivers.
Now, cab aggregators like Ola, Uber, Rapido (and others) in the entire country, including Delhi, will not be able to keep vehicles older than eight years in their fleet. According to the revised guidelines issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways for aggregators, now passenger vehicles like cars, buses, autos, and bikes cannot be used on the platform if they are more than eight years old.
Besides this, each aggregator will also have to achieve the minimum state government-mandated participation required for electric and zero-emission vehicles. Its objective is to reduce pollution by boosting the sale of EVs.
The standard also specifies that the driver's driving license and road permit should be visibly displayed close to the driver's seat, such that the occupants can quickly view them.
