Nepali Uber cab drivers in New York, USA have joined the protest against the company decision to reduce the customers’ fare.

The California-based international transportation company on Friday decided to cut the fare by 15 per cent in New York that sparked protest in the financial capital of the United States.

“We have also joined the protest,” said Nepali Uber cab driver, Sudarshan Guni of Sindhupalchok, talking to the Post, “All of the New York will suffer if the transportation services are disrupted.” Driver Guni said that Uber drivers along with the support from New York City Taxi Workers Alliance will protest in front of the company’s New York office in Jackson Avenue from today.

Protesting outside Uber's Long Island City office, drivers with the New York Taxi Workers Alliance accuse the for-hire company of monopolizing and threatening jobs.

With the rate cut, Uber's base fare goes from $3 to $2.55. The per mile rate goes from $2.15 to $1.75. The per minute rate drops from $.40 to $.30. And the minimum fare drops from $8 to $7.
