Hyderabad: Even after the national uproar that led to a ban on Wednesday, Uber cabs are still plying on city roads and drivers say that the company has not asked them to stop functioning.
On Thursday, readers informed us that they were able to book Uber cabs though the vehicles have been asked to stay off the roads.
One reader who availed the service said, “I was able to book an Uber cab late on Wednesday from the airport. The driver said that it was easier for them to drive at night without the fear of getting caught by the cops.
The driver also added that cops had been seizing the cars on roads; because of this he had removed the phone from his car’s dashboard a trademark feature in Uber cabs.” DC too was able to book a cab a day after Uber was banned in Hyderabad.
The driver said “despite what they are writing in newspapers, we are still very much running. The company has not asked us to stop.” Uber had not reply to our queries till the time of this article’s publication.
