Drivers on the online taxi-hailing platform Uber on Thursday returned to the streets, demanding reversal of the 35 per cent price cut that came into effect in July last year.

The drivers also demanded that Uber reduces the commission it takes from their total earnings before tax from 25 per cent to 10 per cent.
