Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaJuly 18, 2022

Transport Minister Dasakhiat Lamare on Monday said the department will soon come up with guidelines to regulate the operation of the Rapido bike service.

“We are working on the guidelines to ensure that we strike a balance,” Lamare told reporters.

He admitted that the ban on the bike service has affected employment opportunities to local youth.

“However, there are complaints received mostly from taxi drivers that they are not getting passengers like they used to get (due to such service). On the other hand, the public highly appreciate the services of the Rapido bikes considering the traffic congestion and less passenger fee they charged,” Lamare said.

He said in view of this, the department has decided to come up with guidelines to address the concern of both the parties.
