Just checked the main potential reasons to why it was banned (apart from laws) and all these problems are very easy to solve. 1) Reckless driving to hit targets: - Don't make the targets so strict. That's all. 2) Insurance and safety of the driver: - I don't remember but some law was passed to make it mandatory to provide insurance/etc to all the GIG workers. - Still can be solved but increases costs for companies. 3) Rikshaw Unions use to surround the bike taxi people and engage in violence: - That's a big issue. Hard to solve. 4) Safety of the rider and women: - These rides take place in cities. Aren't they safe? - Women driver Exists. And Rapido plans to on-board 200k women driver over the next 3 years. Honestly, all these stuff applies to the food delivery and qcom guys too but they are still allowed. While i have never used a bike taxi, but based on reviews it saves a lot of time for the consumer and is cheap. At the end Rapido built a whole company around this. Indian Motar Cycle act 1988 doesn't allow bikes as commercial vehicles and that's one of the main reason to why it was banned. But yeah, that's a law. They are meant to be broken and modified. Apart from the reasons i listed, I don't see any reason to why it was banned. Anyways, pls correct me if I'm wrong.

Would you prefer "nano" type taxi fleet services if they provided aur conditioned, safer commute than the rapido style taxis and cheaper than traditional ola uber? What would you use this service usually for?
