One of the biggest competitors to Uber has abruptly announced it is shutting down its services across Australia.
Rideshare service Ola sent out an email to customers, including in Sydney and Perth , revealing that it is “discontinuing operations” from April 12.
“You must not take any rides with any vehicle purporting to be an Ola vehicle or Ola driver from 12th April 2024. Ola has not authorised any driver or any other party to use the Ola brand or provide rides on Ola’s behalf.”News.com.au has reached out to Ola for comment via its support services contact after its media inquiry email bounced back.
In its email to customers, Ola explained it would be able to access customers’ account information from their app and raise any queries or issues to their customer care team for a period of 30 days until 11th May 2024 – before being permanently locked out. On its website, Ola boasts it is one of the world’s largest ridesharing companies, operating in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and India.
