Ola, Uber, Rapido Drivers Strike Nationwide: Is Bharat Taxi the Trigger?

• Ola, Uber, and Rapido drivers plan a nationwide strike on February 7, 2026, potentially disrupting commutes across Indian cities.
• Organized by the Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union (TGPWU) and national labor organizations, the protest is dubbed "All India Breakdown."
• Drivers will cancel requests or switch off apps to protest the absence of minimum fares, lack of regulation, and worker exploitation.
• The strike is not directly linked to the recent launch of Bharat Taxi, a cooperative ride-hailing platform.
• Bharat Taxi offers a different model where drivers are members and co-owners, receiving the full fare without commission cuts.
