  • No Wi-Fi, no fares: Tehran taxi drivers struggle as internet blackout bites
    January 18, 2026, 1:10 AM EST. Taxi drivers in Tehran faced a citywide internet outage that silenced dispatch apps and digital payments. With ride-hailing platforms offline, drivers leaned on street hails and cash fares, a shift that slowed business and cut earnings. Drivers described long waits between fares and uncertainty as customers couldn't locate them in the app or pay electronically. The outage underscored how the so-called gig economy-where drivers rely on constant online connectivity to locate riders and receive payment-depends on reliable networks. Some drivers said the disruption forced them to return to traditional street-hire methods, a step back from a system they had grown to rely on. Officials have not specified duration or causes of the outage.
