Rapido suspends bike taxi services in Karnataka after HC order
BENGALURU: One of the most prominent players in the bike-taxi sector, Rapido, has suspended its two-wheeler cab services following a recent Karnataka High Court directive that reinforced the state government’s ban on such operations.
The suspension came into effect on June 16, 2025, in compliance with the court’s order.
“Starting June 16, 2025, our bike taxi services in Karnataka will be paused in compliance with recent High Court orders,” the company informed users through an in-app message. The Rapido app now displays a “Bike Parcel” service in place of the bike taxi option.
