While Rapido claimed to have suspended services, Ola and Uber reportedly continued discreet operations. The ban has drawn criticism from commuters, who now face more expensive and less dependable auto-rickshaw options. Many argue the ban hampers last-mile connectivity and are pushing for proper regulation instead of an outright ban. Both users and aggregators are appealing to political leaders to establish a legal framework to bring back bike-taxi services.
