‘No Alternate Mode To Reach Airports Or Train Stations’: Commuters Outraged As Ola-Uber Strike Enters Day 5

Mumbai: The ongoing strike by Ola and Uber drivers in Mumbai has now entered its fifth day. Thousands of people across the city are feeling frustrated and stuck, with many struggling to find other ways to travel. The companies have not shared enough information or support, which has only made things worse for commuters.
People have taken to social media, especially X (formerly Twitter), to share their anger and problems. One commuter posted about their early morning struggle, saying: “Struggled to get a cab in Mumbai for airport drop this morning. You booked and the guy says, it’s strike! What’s up guys?”
Another frustrated commuter tagged the Maharashtra Chief Minister on X, asking for urgent help and wrote: “Sir, please resolve the Ola, Uber strike of Mumbai. There is no alternative mode to reach airports or train stations. Please take it seriously, people are frustrated.”
Many others are also sharing their disappointment, saying there are no proper updates from the cab services and no easy transport options available. The strike has caused a lot of trouble, especially for those who need to catch flights or trains.
“Ola and Uber drivers are on strike, and for all the right reasons. Day 5 and still no response. Funny how the govt and aggregators stay rigid when it comes to basic rights for the very people their business runs on.” A user mentioned. Talking about the empty roads in Mumbai, a user stated, “Because of the strike in Mumbai, I was able to reach Andheri in like 25 minutes, woah. Eastern Expressway was literally empty.”
Mentioning about the notifications by Ola-Uber, the user mentioned, “Can’t you guys at least put a notification that drivers are on strike and please kindly look for other transportation”. The user added, “I totally didn’t have idea that drivers are on strike and I waited and kept booking the cab straight for 4 hours!!”
Why Ola-Uber Is On Strike?
Drivers working with Ola, Uber, and Rapido are on strike in Mumbai, Pune, and Nagpur, demanding higher pay, reduced commission cuts, and better working conditions. The strike began mid-week and has taken nearly 70 per cent of cabs off the roads, severely disrupting daily travel especially around airports, railway stations, and during school commutes.
The driver unions, now planning a sit-in protest at Azad Maidan, are calling for a complete shutdown of app-based taxi services to press their demands further. The striking drivers, organised under various unions, are emphasising a complete shutdown of app-based cab services to amplify their demands.
