Bike taxi crackdown begins today: Vehicle seizure, hefty fines likely
Bengaluru: Transport authorities in the state said they would launch a crackdown on bike taxi services on Monday after the Karnataka High Court’s refusal to grant interim relief to the operators.
The action will include confiscation of two-wheelers, fines ranging between Rs 2,000 and Rs 10,000, or imprisonment of three months to one year.
Transport Secretary N V Prasad asserted that they were “prepared to fully enforce” the high court ruling that bike taxi operators must cease operations by June 15.
