Bus and shuttle aggregators service providers, Shuttl and Ola’s Shuttle,have been suspended to operate in Gurgaon, reports Your Story.com.
According to the Regional Transport Authority (RTA) in Gurgaon, these services have been stopped as they don’t fall in the ambit of Haryana Contract Carriage Permit Act 1988, 1993, 2001, 2004, and 2013.
According to the report published in Your Story, Bharat Bhushan, Assistant Secretary at the RTA, said, “Ola and Shuttl have got license to operate under the Stage Contract Act which is valid for intercity travel (without multiple stops in city limits), however, they can ply in the city limits (intra-city) only under Contract Carriage Act. This is illegal and we have started penalising them over the last one week.”
The cab aggregator company Ola had announced the launch of Ola Shuttle service in September 2015 while expanding its spectrum of services to offer convenience to urban commuters. The company aimed to cover 100 routes with a fleet of 500 shuttles in Bangalore and Gurgaon.
Whereas, Shuttl launched in April 2015, offers economic and comfortable shuttle services to commuters across 20 routes in Gurgaon and Noida.
