Bangalore, Mar 3 (NITN): Popular mobile app for transportation Ola on Thursday announced the launch of its pilot initiative of Bike Taxis in Bangalore.
Bike Taxis on the Ola app will help customers zip through traffic with ease, at lowest fares.
At an introductory fare of Rs 2 per km and Re. 1 per minute of trip time, Bike Taxis will be available to book through Ola’s app in the city of Bangalore to begin with.
The minimum fare will be Rs. 30.
"This first of its kind two-wheeler transportation option in India comes with the same experience as booking a cab on the Ola app, that includes driver details displayed upfront, SOS, live tracking and seamless payment using Ola Money. Additionally, all pillion riders will be provided with helmets as mandated for their safety," a company statement claimed.
Pranay Jivrajka, Chief Operating Officer at Ola said, “We are excited to launch the pilot of Bike Taxis in Bangalore today. This will help users get to where they want to be within minutes, especially in traffic prone cities like ours. With Bike Taxis, we are enabling safe pillion rides for our users with trained two wheeler drivers at competitive fares. We expect significant demand in the pilot phase and we will continue to scale this service up in the coming weeks to cover more areas in the city and serve more users. We believe this will be a major step towards enabling mobility for a billion Indians in the time to come.”
