💨 Abstract

On February 27, around 7,000 app cabs and several thousand app bikes in Kolkata went on a 12-hour strike to demand increased fares, an end to harassment by authorities, and commercial registration for app bikes. The shutdown affected some commuters but services were not significantly impacted, according to a transport department official. The union has threatened an indefinite strike if their demands are not met.
