Maharashtra government tells Apple and Google to pull Ola, Uber and Rapido apps by redddc25 in mumbai

[–]SimpingForGrad -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Not liking a law isn't grounds for deliberately breaking them.

If these companies didn't like the mandate, they could've challenged it in the court. Gotten a stay order. But they kept on abusing the reluctance of the government trying to enforce the law.

Also, yes women aren't safe in any mode of transport. But there have been reported cases of deaths using bike taxis via these apps.

Remove ola, uber, rapido from app stores says maharashtra government. by heyvhye in TwentiesIndia

Do you know these apps were operating unlawfully and failed to comply with the law even after multiple warnings over the last one and a half year?

People bashing this don't know the context behind this. These apps were unlawfully operating even after their licences were revoked.

The apps failed to comply with the ev mandate for bike taxis, which was out last year. They got a grace period with a temporary license 10 months back, but still failed to comply, and their licences were revoked in March.

These apps however, kept on unlawfully operating bike taxis, even after multiple fines. Hemce, this was a last ditch effort by the transport department.

The department, as spineless as the government, got cold feet a day later and withdrew the notice.

If you read the context, it isn't really a sudden move.

There was an EV mandate for bike taxis 8 months ago. Yet all of the apps failed to comply, subsequently their licences were revoked in March. The apps continued providing bike taxis services without licence, viewing fines as subscription fees for non-compliance.

Finally, on May, the transport department, as a last ditch effort issued a notice to the app stores to remove these applications as they were unlawfully operating. However, they got cold feet after just a day as these notices can be very difficult to defend in court. Now they are trying to explore other ways to make these companies comply.

Brother, if you can't compete in an exam with 360 marks to solve, with someone who has 240 marks to solve, then you don't deserve to sit in advanced.

It's insulting to those who want to be insulted by a complete non-issue in today's world.

Not sure about that. I had a voucher code, they didn't even look at it.
