| ![]() I heard that there is strike by Ola and Uber cab drivers starting tonight midnight. I am arriving Bangalore tomorrow early morning by train. Will there be any alternatives and will the strike be severe ? Thanks in advance ! |

| ![]() I maybe late here, but there is a pre paid auto stand and a meter taxi at the Bangalore Centra and Yeshwanthpur lrailway station. There will be long lines at these but you need not wait for more than 20 minutes. |

| ![]() Thank you! I got down at KRpuram station at 3am and Ola was available immediately. Drivers were not aware of the strike and no issues so far. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Not sure if it was due to cab strike or due to people out of Bangalore on account of Ugadi weekend, encountered less traffic today during office commute. Also, came across this news today, will lighten up your Monday. Though not related to Bangalore traffic specifically. Link |

I travelled from prestige shantiniketan to Manyata tech park in 50 mins today which normally take 1 hr 15-30 mins otherwise. Also the service road opp manyata tech park is open now resulting in less traffic at nagawara. | |

| ![]() Is there actually a strike going on? Yesterday I took an Uber from Airport to my house and checked with the driver if he was aware of the strike and he told he has no information of the same. He also told me that majority of the cabs will be on the road with a certain group of people who will be on strike. However, traffic was indeed less today morning when I came to office after a gap of three weeks. I left home at 715, had a short breakfast in a hotel for 20 mins in order to taste some nice Idly after being in Germany and still reached office at 820. |

Most schools have exams running and hence have the study holidays/gaps between exams. That could be one other reason for the less traffic in the morning. Last edited by Rajeevraj : 19th March 2018 at 13:21. | |

| ![]() Guys, Even though they removed two out of three bumps/humps on the ORR, seems like still they are big irritants- http://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.co...w/63371591.cms |
