A week after bike taxi ban, BENGALURU sees spike in traffic jams, costlier auto rides & angry gig workers It’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 city’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.
