CNG drivers have demanded that ride-sharing apps be banned, and have threatened with a strike if their demands are not met. But, let us face it: CNG drivers have brought this on themselves. There is little to no regulation when it comes to CNG fares, with law enforcement turning a blind eye. This has allowed CNG drivers to ask for arbitrarily high fares and get away with it, often leaving commuters feeling victimised. But a strike will not solve anything; if anything, it will force more and more people to utilise these apps.
