A week after bike taxi ban, BENGALURU sees spike in traffic jams, costlier auto rides & angry gig workers Itโ€™s been a week since Karnataka enforced a ban on bike taxis, and regular commuters say traffic congestion in Bengaluru has worsened. The ban has also triggered a rise in auto rickshaw refusals and fare hikes, while gig workers are protesting the loss of their livelihoods. According to TomTom data, a Dutch location technology company, congestion levels at 7 pm every day since the ban have consistently exceeded the cityโ€™s usual levels for the same time slot (see chart). On June 16, congestion rose to 77 percent, up from the usual 59 percent, an 18-percentage point increase. The upward trend continued, peaking at 83 percent on June 18, a 22-point spike from the normal congestion level of 61 percent.
