The notified fare of Radio Taxi cabs, which have an LCD display Radio Taxi on top, is Rs 23 per km. New Delhi, Aug. 11 (Agencies): All taxi operators will have to follow the fare chart fixed by the Delhi government from August 22, the Delhi high court ruled on Thursday, effectively shooting down the surge-pricing option offered by app-based taxi-aggregators such as Uber and Ola. The court observed that, while taxi aggregators such as Ola and Uber reduce the pressure on public transport, “a uniform policy must be devised” for regulating them. Justice Manmohan decided on the August 22 deadline after Uber said it needs 10 days to make changes to its software to ensure compliance with the court’s order. The Uber and Ola apps do not give the taxi driver a chance to refuse a destination, as long as it is within their notified service area.
