India Ola, Uber, Rapido Fares Go Up: Cab Fares Surge, Rules Now Allow 2X Charges During Peak Hours

The new Cab Fare Surge rules under the 2025 Motor Vehicle Aggregator Guidelines allow cab aggregators like Ola, Uber, and Rapido to charge up to 2X the base fare during peak hours — a sharp increase from the previous 1.5X limit. This Cab Fare Surge policy aims to balance demand and supply, but has sparked debates among daily commuters and drivers alike. While aggregators argue that the revised Cab Fare Surge system accounts for dead mileage and peak-time strain, many passengers feel the burden of increased fares during rush hours. The Cab Fare Surge rule also includes penalties for unjustified cancellations by drivers or passengers, capping at ₹100. #CabFareSurge #DynamicPricing #SurgePricingIndia #NewCabRules2025 #OlaUberNews #2XCabFare #AggregatorPolicyIndia #PeakHourPricing #GovtCabPricing #TransportMinistryRules #CabCancellationPenalty #DeadMileageRule #CabFareSlab #UrbanCommuteRules #IndianCommuterConcerns ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.104~GR.125~

Government anger at resident doctors’ five-day strike

A five-day walkout by resident doctors in England began this morning after talks with the UK Government broke down on Tuesday. Members of the British Medical Association (BMA) are on picket lines across the country demanding a 26% pay rise and better working conditions. Health Secretary Wes Streeting says he and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer are “angry on behalf of patients and other NHS staff.” Report by Jonesia.

Streeting 'angry on behalf of patients' over doctors' strike

Health Secretary Wes Streeting has condemned the BMA’s five-day strike as “reckless and unnecessary,” saying he and the prime minister are “angry on behalf of patients.” He praised NHS staff, including many resident doctors defying the strike, for cancelling leave to keep services going.

BMA: Nobody wants to go on strike

Co-Chair of BMA Dr Melissa Ryan has said resident doctors need the Health Secretary and the government to ''negotiate properly and give an offer''. It comes as thousands of resident doctors are set to walk out from 7am on Friday for five days. The public have been urged to keep coming forward for NHS care during the walkout. GP surgeries will open as usual and urgent care and A&E will continue to be available, alongside 111, NHS England said. Report by Gluszczykm.
