New Delhi: The Central government has launched a new project called “Bharat Taxi,” India’s first cooperative-based taxi service. It’s meant to give passengers and drivers a fairer, government-backed option instead of using private companies like Ola and Uber.

The goal is to ensure that drivers get to keep all the money they earn, rather than paying big commissions to private companies. For years, people have complained about app-based taxis — dirty cars, random cancellations, price surges, and drivers losing up to 25 percent…

“The East End of London is the far right’s prime target – the essence of everything they don’t like. They feel if they can march through our borough with impunity, they can go anywhere.

This model allows the platform to scale globally without…
