Pune police book Rapido for operating bike taxis without licence

Pune police have booked ride-hailing platform Rapido for operating bike taxi services in the city without obtaining the necessary licence, according to reports on Thursday.

The case was registered following complaints that the company was providing two-wheeler taxi services without meeting regulatory requirements set by local transport authorities.

Rapido offers affordable bike and auto-taxi services across multiple Indian cities. The action by Pune police highlights ongoing regulatory challenges faced by aggregator-based mobility platforms operating in various jurisdictions across the country.
