Commuters in Delhi-NCR found some respite when they were able to book cabs on on Ola and Uber's apps even as the striking union drivers claimed their strike was still on.
However, fares were higher than normal during morning and evening hours. The waiting time for hiring cab was also far away from the normal.
Cabs were available on Ola and Uber's apps throughout the day in the national capital.
Sarvodaya Drivers Association of Delhi (SDAD), who claims to represent 1.5 lakh of drivers in Delhi-NCR, claimed although around 70 per cent of cabs plied in the morning, a major section of drivers in evening were off the capital's roads.
Mr Rathore said that there was still no fresh communication from either Ola, Uber or the Delhi government.
Thousands of drivers are on strike since February 10 in Delhi-NCR demanding an increase in fares from the existing Rs 6 per km and also want the 25 per cent commission the app-based aggregators charge on every booking to be discontinued.
