One of the largest cab aggregators operating in India, Uber<\/a> recently launched a bike taxi service in the city of Chandigarh. The service was first launched in Bangalore in March 2016, followed by Gurgaon, Goa, Noida, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Faridabad, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad. As of July 2017, UberMOTO<\/a> completed 2 million trips across these cities in India. The service soon will extend to Mohali as well.<\/p>\n

With the growing number of two-wheelers on the road, looks like India is soon adopting the Southeast Asian style of bike taxis such as Go-Jek<\/a> . It is popularly referred to as \u2018Baxis\u2019, and the base fare starts at Rs. 20 for the first 3 kilometres, followed by Rs. 5\/km.

Nitish Bhushan, General Manager, Uber Chandigarh said that UberMOTO is a by-product of ‘Apni Gaddi Apna Rozgar’<\/a> scheme by the Punjab Government. Under the scheme, the government plans on providing commercial two wheelers to unemployed youth at subsidised rates. This initiative will further make bike taxis a source of livelihood for India\u2019s youth.<\/p>\n

Apart from UberMOTO, there are many other such bike taxi start-ups in India, namely \u2013 Baxi<\/a>, M-Taxi<\/a>, Rapido<\/a>, Bikxie<\/a>, Hey Bob<\/a>, NOW Bike Taxi<\/a>, among many.<\/p>\n
