Mumbai Bike Taxi Operators Face Violations; Transport Authority Defers Action

A Maharashtra Transport Department committee has identified multiple violations by bike taxi operators Uber, Rapido, and Ola in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Common infractions include using non-electric and private bikes, overcharging, exceeding the 15-kilometer passenger limit, and operating without rider police verification. While fines and police cases have been filed, the State Transport Authority (STA) has deferred immediate action against the companies' provisional licenses, citing the model code of conduct for upcoming civic polls and planning meetings with operator management.
