The administration of Jammu & Kashmir has officially prohibited Rapido's bike‑cab operations across the union territory, halting the service effective immediately.
The Union Territory administration of Jammu & Kashmir announced a complete ban on the operations of Rapido, a bike‑cab platform that had been providing two‑wheeler rides in the region. The directive, issued by the local authorities, orders the immediate suspension of all Rapido services until further notice.
Officials said the decision was taken after reviewing the service's compliance with regional transport regulations. The ban applies to all cities and towns within the union territory, affecting both registered riders and customers who relied on the app for short‑distance travel.
The move is expected to impact daily commuters who used the service for its affordability and speed, while also prompting discussions about the regulatory framework for app‑based transport providers in the area.
