Plans to authorise bike taxi service in Maharashtra

The state transport department is mulling over regularising the biketaxiservice inMaharashtrawith riders, but the action would continue against those ferrying passengers on two-wheelers in the city till then.

The service is risky for those availing it, considering the vehicular density and the way two-wheelers ply on roads.

Thebiketaxi service was expected to be allowed in certain towns, based on their vehicular density. A study will be done to ascertain the cities in which the service can be started. There is an intent to allow the service in certain places in the state.
