Plea to regulate bike taxis: Madurai Bench of Madras HC seeks TN govt’s reply
MADURAI: The Madurai Bench of Madras High Court on Wednesday sought a response from the state government on a PIL filed seeking a comprehensive regulatory framework governing aggregators who offer bike taxi services in Tamil Nadu.
R Naveen Kumar of Madurai stated in the petition that app-based bike taxi services operated through digital aggregators such as Rapido, Ola, Uber, etc., have become an integral part of the transport ecosystem and serve as a primary source of livelihood for students and unemployed youth from economically weaker sections of the community.
