How much are bike taxis used in Delhi? More than you’d think

Between 5 lakh and 7.5 lakh trips are taken on bike taxis in the national capital every week, industry insiders told The Indian Express, against the backdrop of Delhi government’s transport department issuing a notice that bars them from plying in the city.

This figure, according to one highly placed industry insider, includes bike taxi rides offered by three most prominent aggregators – Uber, Ola and Rapido – in Delhi.

The official did not share a break-up between the three apps. All three apps also offer the option of booking autorickshaws, which remain more popular than bike taxis, and four-wheelers, which continue to constitute the majority of bookings on Ola and Uber, said an official.
