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.
TL;DR
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.
