Mumbai Police File Cases Against Rapido, Uber Bikes for Transporting Passengers Sans Govt Nod

  • Rapido, Uber, and Ola suspended their bike taxi services in Karnataka on June 16, 2025, following a High Court directive and government ban.
  • The suspension resulted from the Karnataka High Court upholding a state government ban pending the establishment of a regulatory framework and refusal to stay prior orders.
  • Ride-Hailing apps removed bike taxi options, while Rapido introduced a 'Bike Parcel' service workaround allowing rides by booking as parcels amid the operational halt.
  • Rapido stated over 75% of bike taxi riders rely on the platform for income, earning about Rs 35,000 monthly, and pledged to respect and fully abide by the court order.
  • The suspension impacts over 100,000 gig workers across Karnataka, raising livelihood concerns, while the government insists companies must comply and enforces legal actions against violators.
