Cab aggregator Ola on Wednesday (April 17) said that it would provide free rides to persons with disabilities (PWD) to the polling booths in association with the election authorities in a bid to increase voter participation in the Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka.

Ola said it has partnered with the office of the Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer and others, including the civic bodies in various cities in this regard.

"As a part of the free service, Ola has assigned 270 cabs to the election commission which will be made available to ferry PWD voters to polling booths," a release said on Wednesday.
