India’s ride hailing giant Ola to launch in London
India’s main ride sharing service Ola is expanding its UK presence, after being given the green light to enter the London market.
The Bangalore-based company expects to hit London’s roads later this summer.
Under the Transport for London licence, Ola will be able to operate for 15 months, before applying for a renewal at the end of 2020.
Ola already operates in other UK cities such as Liverpool and Manchester and has about 10,000 partner drivers.
In London, it will allow black cabs to use the service.
Ola said: "We couldn’t be more excited to bring Ola to London.
"We are looking forward to building mobility offerings for London, by collaborating with drivers, riders, the government and local authorities."
