Delhi Transport Department rejects Ubers request for licence

Date:

New Delhi: Delhi Transport Department on Wednesday rejected Uber’s request for licence in the city as the government found deficiencies in their application. The sources within the department said that incorporation of company does not include the mandate to provide public transport services.

US online taxi-hailing service Uber had applied for a radio taxi licence to restart operations in India’s capital, after it was banned following allegations that one of its drivers allegedly raped a female passenger.

The government had earlier asked Uber to furnish all details before it as mentioned in recently introduced “Modified Radio Taxi Scheme (2006)”.

Uber, which was banned two months ago, had applied for licence on January 22 to operate app-based taxi booking service through its subsidiary Resource Expert India Pvt Ltd.

Uber had promised to improve passenger safety by introducing additional safety measures including more stringent driver checks, an in-app emergency button and a dedicated incident response team.
