Major tech giants around the globe have been taking measures to prevent the further spread of COVID-19. Uber and Ola too are doing their part by making some necessary changes to their services. Both ride-hailing giants have terminated the option to hire pooling car services in India temporarily.

Uber and Lyft have already stopped offering pooling services globally. For all those unaware, the ride-hailing giants allow users to take rides with other passengers and split the fare under the pooling category. COVID-19 has put the brakes on numerous businesses and the cab-hailing giants are one of the worst affected. Demand for cabs has dipped around 50 percent in India, as per reports.
