Bike taxi drivers in Karnataka are urging the government to reverse the ban on their operations. Represented by Mohammed Salim of the Namma Bike Taxi Association, they’ve appealed to ministers like Dinesh Gundu Rao and petitioned for clear policies after the High Court forced Rapido, Ola, and Uber to halt services. Approximately 150,000 riders are affected. The ban followed the withdrawal of an electric bike taxi scheme due to safety concerns and conflicts with auto unions. Despite legal challenges, the ban remains, with Salim vowing to continue fighting for riders’ rights.
