Cab drivers in Mumbai and other parts of Maharashtra working with Ola, Uber, and other aggregators have threatened to storm the Azad Maidan on September 30, the day Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be in the city, to press for their various demands. The demands include fare parity, a cap on commissions, faster implementation of the Maharashtra Aggregator Policy, and a ban on bike taxis.

A few protesters, who reached the Azad Maidan on Thursday, said they will take a vow not to vote for the Mahayuti government if the demands are not fulfilled, even as the transport department issued an ultimatum to cab aggregators to enforce the discussed fare parity rates by Thursday (September 18).
