New Delhi: Fifty more app based cabs have been seized in Delhi for over-charging commuters, an official said today.
"We have impounded 50 more taxis following complaints from customers. All the taxis belong to various app based cab aggregators," the official told IANS.
He said 35 of 50 the impounded taxis were registered outside Delhi.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has threatened "strict action" over "surge pricing", a technique used by the cab aggregators to hike fares in the event of high demand.
After Mr Kejriwal's threat, Uber and Ola suspended surge pricing.
Under the scheme, petrol and diesel driven vehicles with even registration numbers can ply only on even dates and those with odd numbers on odd dates.
