Maharashtra Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik has ordered a crackdown on aggregator bus services, including Uber Shuttle and Cityflo, in Mumbai for operating without the necessary license.
Strict actions will be taken against senior RTO officials who failed to address the issue of unauthorized bike taxis and aggregator buses operating illegally in the city.
Sarnaik mentioned that a policy for bus aggregators could be devised for the benefit of commuters, but illegal operations of these app-based buses must cease.
Cityflo reportedly stated that they have applied for a license and are cooperating with the state government for compliance, indicating their willingness to work with authorities for offering bus services.
