The Karnataka High Court on Friday lifted the ban on bike taxis, allowing services to resume across the state after nearly a year of uncertainty. "The single-judge bench of the High Court had prohibited bike taxis. The company said bike taxis provide an affordable option for commuters and help drivers earn a living. "Bike taxis are a simple and efficient solution for congested cities and play a critical role in improving last-mile connectivity and affordability. The company said it would work to integrate bike taxis as a core part of Karnataka’s transport system as services resume following the court’s directions.
