"Rapido or other Bike Taxi services in the city take all the passengers without availing any commercial license or commercial permit from the DTO," said Bapon Kalita.
Earlier, President of All Assam Cab Operators’ Union, Ismail Ali, talking to G Plus said, “We have submitted a memorandum to the government to stop the Rapido service as soon as possible but the government has not responded in any way.”
A source in the DTO said that Uber and Ola four-wheeler taxis do not require a commercial licence but require commercial permits which the two-wheeler taxis do not require.
