Rapido, Uber, Ola down across several Indian cities

Ride hailing apps, including Ola, Uber and Rapido were down across Indian cities on Thursday, with users sharing updates of disruption across X.

Several users from Bengaluru, Delhi, Chennai and Hyderabad shared updates on the platform, reporting inability to book a ride or login into the app.

However, no cause has yet been known behind the disruption.


"I’ve been using Rapido regularly to commute between home and office, but today I spent 20+ minutes trying to book a ride, only for the app to keep failing. I even deleted and reinstalled it, and now I can’t even log in because the OTP/server keeps throwing technical errors," a user said.

Users from Bengaluru reported problems with all the three cab service apps during peak hours on Thursday, August 27.

Rapido suffered a brief tech outage and is now back up for users. Over the next 15 minutes, the ride hailing platform will be up for all users.

Other apps started working after a short duration of booking disruptions.

"Earlier today, some users experienced a brief technical issue while booking rides on the Rapido platform. Our internal teams identified and resolved the issue promptly, and all services have since been fully restored," said Rapido spokesperson.
