India's Ola in 3 more Australian cities

Bengaluru, May 22 (IANS) Indian ride-sharing major Ola on Tuesday expanded its services in Australia to three more cities -- Brisbane, Gold Coast and Canberra.

"Customers in these cities can book discounted rides using Ola app starting Tuesday," the city-based online cab aggregator said in a statement here.

The online transportation network company has been operating in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne since it forayed into the island-nation early in 2018.

So far, over 30,000 driver-partners have registered themselves with the company since its launch in Australia on January 30, the statement said.

"Over the coming months, Ola is working on its rollout in other Australian cities Adelaide, Darwin and Hobart," it added.

Founded in 2011, Ola has been competing against Uber in the Indian ride-hailing market. The seven-year-old Ola claims to have over 125 million users in 110 cities across India.
