Chennai woke up to a one-day strike by Uber and Ola drivers today.   The drivers' main grouse is the hefty 25 percent commission charged by the operator. 

Further, they say, earlier they would get incentives for more rides but not anymore. Even the toll they pay is not refunded, they crib.   

A driver said they are promised incentives for 54 rides on four working days but after 50 rides they stop getting new rides.   

The drivers plan to hold a protest at Chepauk today, before ending their strike at 6 pm.   

Their strike has led to Chennai's auto drivers and prepaid taxis at airport making merry.
