Bike taxis have been a great help to the youth who live and work in cities like chennai and Bengaluru. That is, bike taxis have become a boon for those who cannot afford to pay high fares for autos or rented cars every day and do not get stuck in traffic jams on government buses. By paying half the fare for autos, we can travel to any place we want. There will be no problem of getting stuck in traffic jams on a large scale. But this bike taxi service brought by companies including Rapido has been a big problem for auto drivers and car drivers. It was in this context that the karnataka state government banned bike taxis. This has caused great unrest among the youth living and working in Bengaluru. Many people are posting on social media about the problems they are facing due to the bike taxi ban.
They are saying that their expenses have increased many times due to this government ban. In a post posted on the X page, krishna said, "You have banned bike taxis, due to which I have to go to the office by auto. I have to pay Rs 700 as a fee to go to the office by auto every day. This is equal to the income of an individual in India." He said that this is equal to the income of an individual in India. He questioned why auto fares have not decreased even though various companies including ola have a zero commission model for auto drivers. Another user said that traffic congestion is already bad in Bengaluru, and now the government has banned bike taxis. Due to this, auto fares have increased many times. Since auto drivers currently have no competitors, they are charging us a price as they please. Another user is requesting that the government pay attention to this and take action. A user has questioned how a city can be changed like this, saying it is not even 8 am yet. Since bike taxis have been banned, I am taking an auto. Many people have posted their grievances on social media.
