Things have been changed with the taxi industry severely and very drastically, I remember a time when taxi drivers used to be bullied by taxi companies and targeted by city officials and cops. We drivers survived all that. We paid all penalties and fines but we were able to make a living, no ones to blame. We drivers still were making a good living. Then Uber happened. When Uber came to Hyderabad all taxi drivers were excited and we welcomed it. We were so blind in greed of making that extra buck we didn’t realize that we actually were digging our own grave. A cab strike will only make Uber and Ola more reliable. The city will never suspend or ban taxi operations. Instead of working against it we have to work with the taxi industry and find a way to profit both taxi and private drivers.
