With the growing number of two-wheelers on the road, looks like India is soon adopting the Southeast Asian style of bike taxis such as Go-Jek. It is popularly referred to as ‘Baxi’s’, and the base fare starts at Rs. 20 for the first 3 kilometres, followed by Rs. 5/km. Using UberMOTO not only helps commuters save time but also is a pocket-friendly medium for travelling, especially for short distances.

Nitish Bhushan, General Manager, Uber Chandigarh said that UberMOTO is a by-product of ‘Apni Gaddi Apna Rozgar’ scheme by the Punjab Government. Under the scheme, the government plans on providing commercial two-wheelers to unemployed youth at subsidised rates. This initiative will further make bike taxis a source of livelihood for India’s youth.

Apart from UberMOTO, there are many other bike taxi start-ups in India, namely – Baxi, M-Taxi, Rapido, Bikxie, Hey Bob, and NOW Bike Taxi, among many others.
