Days after bike taxi aggregators resumed plying in Karnataka, Rapido has introduced a new feature called ‘Bike Direct’ to continue operations, while Uber and Ola have stopped offering the service just two days after the Karnataka High Court’s clarification.
A check on the Rapido app by The Hindu revealed that the company has rolled out ‘Bike Direct’, which it claims is a “non-profit initiative by Rapido aimed at supporting our captains whose livelihoods were severely impacted due to recent operational restrictions.” In contrast, Uber and Ola have removed the bike taxi feature from their apps.
