Ola Gets Massive Response from Drivers in London, Uber's License to be Scrapped

Indian cab aggregator Ola is going Europe, as it is to launch services in London. Ola has been running operations in Australia and Newzealand since 2018. 

It should be noted that Ola is operating in UK since 2018 across South Wales (Cardiff, Newport and Vale of Glamorgan), South West (Bath, Bristol, Exeter, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire), Merseyside (Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and The Wirral), West Midlands (Birmingham, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall, Wolverhampton, Coventry and Warwick) and Reading. 


In July this year Ola had been granted a PHV operator licencse by TFL (Transport for London). As the company planned the launch of services could be in next 2 months. 

Ahead of launch, Head of International at Ola, Simon Smith informed that more than 10,000 drivers have registered to them. 

There is a market for Ola, as Uber is on the verge of losing licence to operate in London. Uber is running business under strict monitoring by TFL, and in November 25 TFL clears the fact they will not allow renewing Uber's license to operate in London on the ground of unauthorized drivers making trips.
