Is it legal to start a Bike Taxi service in Kerala India?


19-Feb-2023 (In Startup Law)

Hi, I would like to know if it is legal to start a bike taxi service in India? If yes, does any states in India have a law against that? Consider Bike Taxi service will be provided as Call Taxi/Online Taxi services like Uber/Ola. Thanks

Hariyana and Goa are the only other State in India which have a bike taxi service.The bike taxi service would be faster and comfortable than any other mode of transport. The drivers are fully trained to carryout the rides by wearing uniforms for easy identification. But the present Motor vehicle act does not supported a bike taxi services . So a clarification from RTO is necessary for starting the Bike Taxi services.

Recently all States under the direction of the Central govt. are reviewing their Rules, Regulations for all their On-demand transport services.
You may prefer filing one RTI application with the Transport department of Kerala, with the query and you can know the latest stand of Kerala government on this.
