Transportation app Ola on Wednesday said it has expanded its 'Micro' service to 48 newer cities, taking the presence of its low-cost AC cab service to 75 cities in all, making the category "larger than the nearest competitor as a whole". Launched about two months ago, Ola has scaled up its 'Micro' offering to 75 cities, from 7. The cities added now include Patna, Aligarh, Amravati, Guntur, Jhansi, Mathura, Rourkela, Thanjavur, Ujjain, Hubli, Rajahmundry, Rajkot and Siliguri, among others. "In just under 7 weeks of its launch, Ola Micro alone as a category is larger than our nearest competitor as a whole," Ola Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Categories Raghuvesh Sarup said. He based his claim on the number of daily rides with just Ola Micro as against its US-based rival Uber. When contacted, an Uber spokesperson said: "We are excited to see the growth and momentum we have picked over the last few months, becoming the most popular ride-hailing app in India. It's all possible because of the product and technology that provides better value to our riders and drivers using our platform."Â
