In a bid to help the state in its fight against Coronavirus, Ola on Wednesday entered into a partnership with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to aid the movement of health workers. The cab aggregator will provide the civic body with a dedicated fleet of cars, which will ferry medical staff, healthcare workers and paramedical staff from their homes to hospitals across the city. The cars will also be used to ferry doctors and BMC officials so that the service can help the frontline warriors in their fight against COVID-19.

When asked how many cabs had been provided for the service, Ola sources said that now just the tie-up had been formalised and other details were being worked out. "We will provide vehicles as per the BMC's requirements. They will send us details regarding the number of vehicles they want and we will work out a plan accordingly," a source said.
