Rapido's two-wheeler contract carriage permit request rejected by Karnataka transport minister

Ride-hailing platform Rapido on Tuesday urged the Karnataka government to issue contract carriage permits to two-wheelers and bike taxis, just days after the congress regime rolled back its 2021 electric bike taxi policy citing its misuse. The Bengaluru-based bike taxi and auto aggregator urged the government to adopt a comprehensive approach in line with the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Act and the recent advisory from the Road Transport and Highways ministry on granting carriage permits to two-wheelers.
