Gate News message, April 15 — Uber released data indicating that bike taxi services did not reduce auto-rickshaw demand during a nearly two-month suspension in Bengaluru and Mumbai in mid-2025, as both categories continued to grow while Indian states reviewed regulations.
In Q4 2025, 76% of two- and three-wheeler users in Bengaluru chose only auto-rickshaws, while 8.8% used only bike taxis. In Mumbai, nearly 84% of users relied solely on auto-rickshaws, and 9.3% used both services.
Among riders who used both options, auto-rickshaws accounted for 62% of trips in Bengaluru and 65% in Mumbai. Uber also reported that more than 500,000 Bengaluru users took their first bike taxi trip since 2024.
The data comes as the Karnataka High Court lifted a June 2025 ban on bike taxis in January 2026, while Maharashtra revoked provisional licenses for Uber and other ride-hailing platforms in Mumbai in March.
