Maharashtra Drafts New E-Bike Taxi Regulations
The Maharashtra government is creating rules for e-bike taxis to help the environment and create jobs.
These rules cover things like how fast the bikes can go, when they can operate (like not in bad weather), and who can ride.
Drivers must be a certain age, have a clean record, and get training.
There are rules for the bikes themselves, like color and safety equipment.
Also, the government will set the prices to make sure people aren't overcharged.
These rules are designed to ensure safety and promote a regulated e-bike taxi service.
Maharashtra introduced draft e-bike taxi regulations.
Public feedback is open until June 5th, with final rules expected in July.
Regulations include speed limits, weather restrictions, and passenger age limits.
Drivers must be between 20-50, with clean records, training, and limited work hours.
Rules cover vehicle specifications, safety gear, GPS tracking, and fare structures.
