Uber, Rapido services halted in Karnataka following HC directive

Bike taxi services operated by app-based aggregators came to a standstill in Karnataka on Monday, June 16, following the High Court’s directive to suspend operations.

Complying with the order, bike taxi options were removed from ride-hailing apps such as Ola, Uber and Rapido.

Minister Ramalinga Reddy confirmed the development, stating that the companies must abide by the court’s decision.

“Three months ago, the court ruled that bike taxis are illegal. It initially gave six weeks, and then another six weeks on request. Now that 12 weeks have passed, the aggregators must follow the High Court order,”
