To cash in on the growing trend of bike taxis, startup OneRyder today launched its ride-sharing service here and said it plans to expand to the NCR in the next six months.
The company, which has 70 driver partners on board, is looking to aggressively scale up to 500 drivers in the next six months as it starts offering services in Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad.
"Bike Taxis are very popular in places like Thailand...
At OneRyder, we aim to constantly find smart transportation solutions for commuters in traffic congested cities," OneRyder Founder and CEO Rahul Gupta told
He further said the company aims to have 200 riders joining by the end of April in Delhi alone.
"We have built an interesting features in the app. There is a speeding regulator that notifies the operations team when a bike exceeds the 50 kmph speed limit. Consequently, strict action is taken against every rider who defies road safety rules adopted by OneRyder," he added.
All rides of OneRyder will originate from Delhi and commuters can be dropped up to 15 kms from the borders of the city.
Customer are charged Rs 15 for the first km, followed by Rs 4 for every subsequent km and Rs 1 per minute of ride time.
Motorbike taxis is an established model in markets like Vietnam, Thailand and some other emerging nations.
Note
Uber and Ola had launched their service on pilot basis in Bengaluru but had to restrict service following the Regional Transport Authority terming the service illegal.
These companies could face similar hurdles in other cities as most transport authorities do not have clear regulations around operating two-wheelers as commercial vehicles
