Bengaluru: Karnataka has no plans to legalise bike taxi services, despite the Centre releasing the Motor Vehicles Aggregator Guidelines, 2025, on July 1.
The guidelines, issued under Section 93 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, provide a regulatory framework for state governments to license and regulate aggregators in the road transport sector.
Clause 23 specifies that “state governments may allow the aggregation of non-transport motorcycles for journey by passengers as shared mobility” and impose fees.
