Ola introduces bike taxis in Bangalore

Over the past few months several companies have identified the radio bike taxi market as an untapped market. In Bangalore, over the past few months Rapido and Uber (among others) have entered this market. Now, Ola has announced the launch of its pilot initiative of bike taxis in Bangalore.

At a minimum fare of Rs. 30, these bike taxis will serve as a means to ferry customers across the city with an introductory fare of Rs. 2 per km and Re. 1 per minute of trip time.

The two-wheeler transportation option will be available on the Ola mobile app and will provide users with the same experience as that of booking a cab i.e. driver details displayed, SOS, live tracking and payment using Ola Money. Also, all pillion riders will be provided helmets.
