In a surprise move to crack down on illegal operations, a state minister booked a ride on a bike taxi through a popular mobile app and personally took the ride to verify its legitimacy. The minister found that several bike taxis were operating without the necessary permits, violating transport regulations. Following the ride, he ordered immediate action against unlicensed operators and directed officials to intensify enforcement. The incident has brought to light the widespread presence of illegal bike taxi services in the city, prompting calls for stricter regulatory oversight.
