Uber India Urges Delhi Govt To Initiate Dialogue On Bike Taxi Ban, Electrification Goals

SUMMARY

Uber highlighted the last-mile delivery gaps bike taxis fill and called for a dialogue in response to the Delhi government’s decision to ban bike taxis

The ride-hailing major also highlighted the differences in electrification targets for bike taxis and other sectors like ecommerce in Delhi’s draft aggregator policy

Different electrification mandates not only lead to inequitable sharing of responsibility but seriously disadvantage the entire industry: Uber

Ride-hailing major Uber has urged the Delhi government to initiate an industry dialogue and arrive at a solution for the bike taxi ban and the electrification goals for two-wheeler ride-hailing aggregators.

The statement comes days after the Delhi government banned bike taxis, stating that operating private vehicles for commercial purposes violated the Motor Vehicle Act of 1988. The state government also warned of heavy fines if bike taxi aggregators were found to be operating despite the ban.
