Five Auto and Taxi Driver Associations Challenge High Court Order on Bike Taxis in Supreme Court

Five auto and taxi driver associations from Karnataka have approached the Supreme Court, challenging the High Court's decision to allow bike taxis. The associations filed the petition after the High Court directed the state government to consider applications regarding the licensing and operation of motor cycles as transport vehicles and contract carriages. The petition highlights the potential impact on the existing 1.5 lakh auto and taxi drivers and regulated transport operators in Bengaluru.
