This petition was submitted during the 2019 to 2024 Parliament
Rejected petition Change the law about comission charged by Uber/Bolt.
Rejected on
The govermment must cap the comission charged at maximum 20% by such companies like Uber and Bolt
Uber charges more than 50% commission from drivers. Drivers come with their own cars, pay for insurance, fuel, car maintenance. Car depreciation is massive after 2-3 years. Drivers need to work more than 12 hours a day as to cover the necessary expenses. Uber destroyed the cab and minicab industry with dump prices, eliminated the competition and now they have increased the prices a lot for customers and charge huge commissions from drivers..
