Rapido, India’s leading commute app, boasting a remarkable 65% market share in the bike taxi segment, has officially launched its bike taxi services in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. The distinguished presence of Shri Girish Pati Tripathi, the Hon’ble Mayor of Ayodhya Nagar Nigam, added prestige to the momentous occasion. This strategic move aims to make last-mile connectivity more affordable and create employment opportunities for locals in Ayodhya. The initiative seeks to reduce commuter reliance on traditional transportation methods such as e-rickshaws and shared autos, allowing commuters and locals to avoid the need to share rides and travel outside their local city for employment.
Following the launch, a rally was organized from Avantika Hotel, Civil Line in supervision of the Ayodhya administration. The introduction of bike taxi services will not only offer locals an opportunity to earn more but also ensure the delivery of top-notch commuting solutions to the locals and tourists. The service is already available in 12 cities in Uttar Pradesh, providing employment to over 1 lakh people and serving a million active users. Rapido’s expansion into Ayodhya signifies its commitment to improving last-mile connectivity across India.
Commenting on the development, Pavan Guntupalli, Co-Founder of Rapido, stated, “Post the recent Pran Prathista ceremony conducted by the Hon’ble Prime Minister, the city of Ayodhya would see its commuting needs changes with more tourists visiting the city in the coming years. Simultaneously, the city’s commuting ecosystem needs to evolve to cater to the increased population. The Rapido Bike Taxi is the first-of-its-kind commuting solution to the people of Ayodhya and along with them, tourists and pilgrims will benefit from the affordable commuting option. Rapido is keen on generating employment in local cities, enabling people to find employment in their hometown. We look forward to further expand our services in Ayodhya, creating more livelihood opportunities in the city.”
Attending the launch event, Shri Girish Pati Tripathi Hon’ble Mayor Ayodhya Nagar Nigam, said, “This is a significant step towards enhancing last-mile connectivity and affordability of transportation in our city. The initiative will not only reduce dependence on conventional transportation but also creates new employment opportunities, contributing to our city’s economic growth. I believe this strategic move will have a positive impact on the lives of our residents, fostering overall development in Ayodhya.”
With bike taxi services, Rapido continues to lead the way in redefining urban mobility in India, making daily commuting more convenient, affordable, and enjoyable for all.
