Hopes revive for bike taxis in Karnataka as Centre revises guidelines

Bengaluru: Hopes have risen for the resumption of bike taxi services in Karnataka after the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) released the revised Motor Vehicle Aggregator Guidelines on Tuesday.

The guidelines provided a regulatory framework for state governments to issue licences and regulate aggregators.

The new guidelines attempt to provide a light-touch regulatory system while attending to issues of safety and security of the user and the welfare of the driver.
