Hundreds of drivers for Uber and Ola went on strike in Bengaluru on 23 January 2017 about a number of issues . The drivers are seeking better payment structures , a reduction in long shifts and a cut in the amount of commission payable to the companies . Drivers typically pay such as 10 % on every ride , but lately Uber and Ola have raised the commission rate to 30 % , which drivers say leaves them too little . However, with the number of vehicles growing, drivers’ earnings have dipped. Drivers are also demanding that Ola and Uber provide flat rates : it pays a driver INR6,000 ( $ 88 ) for a 20-hour stint , according to one Bengaluru taxi driver .
