Staff Correspondent

Shillong: One hundred-forty-two-wheelers in Shillong have turned cabbies. They will take any single pillion rider at any given time to the place they desire within Shillong city. Rapido launched its operations in Shillong to take on an age-old concept of transportation by replacing the conventional four-wheeler taxis with bikes. The organization wants to tackle the issues that commuters face due to heavy traffic conditions, especially during the morning rush hours. It offers commuters the alternative option of a bike instead of a car or public transport to navigate through traffic snarls quickly and reach your destination on time.

Going by the question-answer session during the formal launch in Shillong on Tuesday, the officials of Rapido said that the gadgets related with the Captains (riders) are always in place to report to the clients besides responding to any sort of misadventure by either by the captains or the hired customers. The apps are in place, they collectively said by adding that all the captains are locals of Shillong city.

Suman Acharjee, city head Shillong says, “The Rapido concept is based around providing economical, convenient and high-quality transport facilities for solo commuters, especially those who need to travel far or have to get somewhere quickly. It can be someone who’s late for an exam or needs to get to a hospital for an appointment or in the event of an emergency. In such cases, a bike is invariably faster than a car or a bus. However, not everyone might have a bike or know how to ride one. That’s where Rapido comes into the picture.”

India’s largest Bike taxi service, Rapido is now operational across 40 cities in India. The main aim of Rapido is to provide economical, cost-effective, fuel-efficient and time-saving transport. With over a Million happy customers and 30 Million plus rides on this bike-taxi booking app, Rapido is striving hard to reach number of people every day and bring happiness in their lives by providing fast and affordable source of transport.
