Residents of Bengaluru will soon have the option of choosing authorised electric bike taxis with the State Transport Authority on Tuesday resolving to issue licence to two companies.
“We have cleared the applications of two companies Blu Smart and Bounce. The licences will be issued soon. The licensing of a third company is in the final stage,” Transport Commissioner S N SIddaramappa told DH.
The state government had notified the ‘Electric Bike Taxi Taxi Scheme’ last year, with the vision of providing affordable last-mile connectivity to passengers of public transport.
