Ola is currently rolling out the TaxiForSure hatchbacks booking via its own app in Delhi and Mumbai, and has revealed plans to add other cities in a phased manner over the next few weeks. The company adds that all TaxiForSure rides booked via the Ola app will have to be paid for in cash only.

The 'Inform A Friend' feature of TaxiForSure will be available to the TFS registered users.
