Bengaluru/IBNS: Bengaluru-based transportation company Ola Consumer (formerly Ola Cabs) has officially relaunched its car-pooling feature 'Ola Share' on its app, after nearly four years of suspending the service due to Covid-19 protocols.

This comes a week after Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal announced the feature at its annual community event 'Sankalp' on August 15.

"We are bringing back Ola Share for cheaper rides, with lower cost rides. This time the experience is much better with AI driven algorithm...We will look at expanding to other cities soon," Aggarwal said.

In 2020, Ola shut down shared rides temporarily in an effort to curb spread of Covid-19.

Ride-hailing companies are looking to relaunch or launch car and auto pooling services in select cities.

Uber has launched Group Rides in Delhi NCR, and similarly Rapido launched auto-pooling services in Bengaluru, according to reports.
