Karnataka Bike Taxi Riders Plead for Regulation to Save Livelihoods

Bike taxi riders in Karnataka are making a heartfelt plea to the state government: regulate, don’t delay. They’re urging for the immediate adoption of the Centre’s Aggregator Guidelines 2025 to bring much-needed structure and clarity to the sector.

Thousands of Livelihoods Hang in the Balance

The ongoing policy uncertainty, coupled with an effective ban in Bengaluru, has placed thousands of livelihoods in jeopardy. These riders, many of whom rely on bike taxis as their primary source of income, are facing an uncertain future. They are calling for swift action to protect their families and secure their financial stability.

A Call for Clarity and Support

The riders emphasize that regulation, not prohibition, is the key to a thriving and sustainable bike taxi sector. They believe that implementing the 2025 guidelines will not only protect their livelihoods but also benefit commuters by providing safe, affordable, and accessible transportation options.
