Ola, Uber drivers in Hyderabad begin ‘No AC’ protest today. Here’s why

In Hyderabad, cab drivers have launched a ‘No AC’ campaign starting Monday to protest against the low fares offered by ride-hailing platforms such as Ola, Uber, and Rapido. The protest follows a boycott of rides to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, with drivers highlighting financial losses caused by the current fare structures.

The Telangana Gig and Platform Workers’ Union (TGPWU) announced the campaign via a post on X, stating: “Cab drivers in Hyderabad to begin ‘No AC Campaign’ from March 24.”
