Nice concept. Plus karma points for reducing emission!
What are the fares like?
Legalities is secondary. What about safety. If anything happens who is liable ?? India is not a safe place for two wheeler taxis unlike other countries.
What about the Safety and Security aspects?
In Goa they have motorbike Taxis, known as Pilots and it’s legal. So legalities can be sorted out i think.
@tejas The same security which you get if you travel as pillion rider on any bike.
What do you want? A security shield to cover you?
Similar concept tried in Mumbai was shutdown as the motor vehicle rules didn’t permit for it. Here’s the – Link
Just spoke to Hey Taxi Mumbai and they said everything is on track. They’re offering the services
It is good concept considering the traffic situation in Bangalore and there are few other players including HeyTaxi, Rapido, Zoosh but not sure how safe such services are knowing 2 wheelers are more accident prone and cannot be used during rains.
Just now a new player emerged in the market, Zingobikes (www.zingobikes.com). Website doesn’t look that good but the app named zingo on playstore looks good. I guess they are trying out the MVP.
It has been running legally in Gurgaon for the last 3 weeks. Two companies launched bike taxi services with commercial bikes, carrying yellow boards.
Good idea if it is run as smoothly as in Goa where it’s been for several years. Only thing is do you have women riders to cater for women customers? And publish your rates and conditions as who will book without this information?
Bike taxi riders, make the passenger sitting behind will not poke you.
Bike riders, make sure that the passengers sitting behind you will not poke you, through out their journey.
It is totally safe. you will on the bike not inside the closed car. If something goes wrong you can jump and run away in the traffic signal is on (3 seconds before the green signal is on). The rider will cannot catch you if you are running in the opposite direction.
Dont use this trick, while making the payment, after ride.

Seems like map is not taking the current location and no details on how to get attached with Hey bob if I am willing to join the service
Everything is going online.. Hope they scale it. Good luck team.
