India's Ola in 3 more Australian cities
Bengaluru, May 22: Indian ride-sharing major Ola on Tuesday expanded its services in Australia to three more cities -- Brisbane, Gold Coast and Canberra.
"Customers in these cities can book discounted rides using Ola app starting Tuesday," the city-based online cab aggregator said in a statement here.
The online transportation network company has been operating in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne since it forayed into the island-nation early in 2018.
So far, over 30,000 driver-partners have registered themselves with the company since its launch in Australia on January 30, the statement said.
"Over the coming months, Ola is working on its rollout in other Australian cities Adelaide, Darwin and Hobart," it added.
Founded in 2011, Ola has been competing against Uber in the Indian ride-hailing market. The seven-year-old Ola claims to have over 125 million users in 110 cities across India.

KL Rahul slams unbeaten century as Delhi Capitals score 199/3 against Gujarat Titans in IPL
New Delhi, May 18 (PTI): Opener KL Rahul displayed great intent on a slow and grippy wicket to score his fifth IPL century as Delhi Capitals scored 199 for 3 against Gujarat Titans here on Sunday.
Rahul, who scored a 65-ball unbeaten 112 and shared a 90-run partnership with one-down batter Abhishek Porel (30), dug deep into his reserves after DC yet again lost opener Faf du Plessis (5) early.
Rahul's last IPL century had come in 2022 and while other batters struggled, he hit 14 boundaries and 4 sixes to give DC a competitive score.
Rahul also earned the unique distinction of scoring centuries for three different franchises in the IPL -- Punjab Kings, Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals.
GT's left-arm pacer Arshad Khan (1/7), Sai Kishore (1/47) and Prasidh Krishna (1/40) took a wicket each.
Brief scores:
Delhi Capitals: 199 for 3 in 20 overs (KL Rahul 112 not out, Abhishek Porel 30; Sai Kishore 1/47, Prasidh Krishna 1/40).
