Karnataka upholds suspension of bike taxi services
Bike taxi services like Ola, Uber, and Rapido are officially banned across Karnataka after a High Court ruling. The court said there aren't any state rules for these services yet, and the government isn't planning to make them anytime soon.
Riders and workers in tough spot
The ban kicks in statewide from June 16, so no more booking bike taxis after that. The court made it clear: just because central rules allow bike taxis doesn't mean states have to follow unless they set their own policies. This leaves regular riders and gig workers in a tough spot until Karnataka figures out a way forward.
