Rapido bike taxi temporarily suspends services

As the Indian Government announced a 21-day lockdown in order to contain the coronavirus, India’s largest bike share mobility company Rapido has decided to limit its services temporarily under further notice.

Rapido will be operational with a minimal network of vehicles to support essential services, for hospitals, doctors, nurses, govt. staff, supporting life continuity.

“COVID-19 is a growing pandemic and fighting it is a priority for us at Rapido. After closely monitoring the on-ground scenario, we are temporarily suspending our services. However, we will be operational with a minimal network of vehicles to support essential services…” the company said in a press release.

“We are already taking measures and precautions to ensure the safety of our Captains from COVID-19. Additionally, we have a group insurance cover worth Rs 10 lakh for our Captains to shield them from financial burden in case of hospitalization,” it added.

Rapido is a bike taxi service spread widely across all of India from Tier I to Tier III cities. The app allows you to book bike taxis with minimum wait time, maximum safety and is super easy on your pockets.
