Following the two-wheeler taxi concept of Goa, the Haryana Government has also given green signal to use two-wheelers as a contract carriages in the streets of Gurgaon. The new service will cover some of the high traffic areas of the city and will cover the entire city in the coming months.
The concept is brought by IIT Delhi Alumni, Ashutosh Johri and Manu Rana, owner of 74 BC Technologies, Gurgaon and will launch their bike-as-a-taxi service under the brand name ‘Baxi’. It has been brought with the aim to provide a swift and economic mode of transport through the ever-rising traffic in the city.
The ‘Baxi’ service will offer the inexpensive connectivity to colleges, offices, residential areas and schools, from the metro and bus stands. This bike-as-a-taxi service can be hailed directly from the government allocated stations or called to customer’s location, anywhere in the city, using the mobile application, which will be available on Google Play Store.
According to one of the founders of 74 BC Technologies Mr. Ashutosh Johri, “Our pilots will be well trained regarding key aspects like hygiene, etiquette, and safety. They will carry helmets and hair nets for the pillion riders, and offer them wet wipes to freshen up at the end of the ride. Customers can also spot our bikes from a distance, and all our pilots will be wearing uniforms.”
