Regulate, don’t delay: Bike taxi riders to Karnataka government

BENGALURU: Bike taxi riders on Tuesday called upon the state government to immediately take steps to adopt the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) Aggregator Guidelines-2025 to regulate bike taxi services.

The lack of clear policies has left riders struggling to make a living and commuters without affordable transport options, they claimed in an open letter to Labour Minister Santosh Lad, Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy, IT/BT Minister Priyank Kharge, Industries Minister M B Patil, Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda and Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao. They also sent a letter to Leader of the Opposition R Ashok.
