IAMAI's appeal on bike taxi ban - Consult the industry and extend the date for submitting data

IAMAI also suggested that the government form a joint committee, which includes officials of the Transport Department, representatives of the industry and members of the gig workers or bike taxi union. In this way, a policy can be made with everyone's balanced opinion and in everyone's interest.

IAMAI has also demanded that until the new policy is implemented, the aggregator companies which are following the safety rules should be given temporary permits. So that they can continue their services and people do not face inconvenience.

IAMAI reiterated that they are fully prepared to work with the government to create a balanced, equitable and sustainable regulatory framework, which will maintain the convenience of the general public and will not harm the gig economy.

At present, the Karnataka government has not given any official response to this letter of IAMAI. But it is clear that the upcoming policy can have a big impact on the livelihood of bike taxi operators and gig workers.
