- Drivers with online taxi aggregators in Kerala, organised under the All Kerala Online Drivers Union Alliance, are on an indefinite 'offline strike' that entered its second day, keeping most of the roughly 35,000 aggregator vehicles off the road.
- Riders across the state reported sharply higher fares on taxi apps, with some trips costing more than double the usual rate, and autos and bikes also cost more due to reduced vehicle availability.
- The union launched the strike with 11 demands, including fair fare revisions, driver welfare and a ban on illegal bike taxis.
- Protesters staged a sit-in at Uber's Kochi office, and the company reportedly agreed to hold talks with union representatives on Thursday.
What to watch next
- Outcome of the talks between Uber and union representatives scheduled for Thursday
- Whether fleet-owned vehicles and more drivers join the strike
- Any progress on the union's 11 demands, including fare revision and welfare measures
