The Transport Department of the Delhi government issued a public notice on Sunday, announcing that the commercial use of private bike taxis has now been banned in the capital. The notice clearly states that even after the ban, if a bike taxi is found plying on the road, it will be challaned. The amount of the challan has been kept very high, so that the rule can be strictly followed. Public notice (via NDTV) has been issued to ban private bike taxis on Delhi roads, which says that if any bike taxi remains operational even after the ban, it will be challaned and license can also be canceled Is. All the aggregators associated with this service have also been warned that if they continue to take bookings on their platform (mobile app/website), then action will be taken against them under the Vehicle Act. According to the public notice, the new ban has a provision of fine up to one lakh rupees. The Transport Department has termed private bike taxis as a violation of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Let us tell you that Ola, Uber, Rapido etc. provide this type of bike taxi service. Talking about challans, the first-time offender can be fined Rs 5,000, while the second-time offender can be fined Rs 10,000 and imprisoned for up to one year. In these circumstances, the driver may also lose his license for three months. As the notice says, the operation of private bike taxis is in violation of the amendments made to the Motor Vehicles Act in 2019, which clearly states that aggregators cannot operate without a valid license. Recently, Rapido challenged the Bombay High Court order to the aggregator to stop bike, taxi and rickshaw services in Maharashtra and sought relief in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court refused to grant relief and all three aggregators (Ola, Uber, Rapido) had to stop such operations in the state.
