RIDE hailing firm Ola Thursday (4) said that it has received private hiring vehicle operator licence by transport authority in London.
The licence paves way for Indian based company to launch its ride-hailing service in London which is estimated to have eight million population.
“London is one of the world’s most iconic cities and hosts a progressive mobility environment. We couldn’t be more excited to bring Ola to London in the time ahead! We are looking forward to building world-class mobility offerings for London, by collaborating with drivers, riders, the government and local authorities,” Ola spokesperson said in a statement.
Ola already facilitates private hire vehicles (PHVs) and black cabs booking across 21 boroughs in the UK.
