Rapido will allow Mumbaikars to book bike taxis for their everyday commute with 'captains' (driver-partner) at fixed fares as low as Rs 6 per km, making it an affordable everyday commute option in Mumbai where traffic jams are common.
Aravind Sanka, Co-Founder, Rapido, said, "The pandemic gave us an opportunity. It left almost 8 million daily commuters of the Mumbai travel looking for an alternative mode of travel. As the city builds back from COVID-19, there is a demanding need for an accessible, affordable and safe everyday commute and Rapido will be able to address that need."
Rapido also offers local youth in a city it operates in an earning opportunity, across its 100+ city presence. In Mumbai, Rapido has on-boarded 2,000 Captains to kick start the operations.
How it works
Customers have to download the app, log in to their account, and book a Rapido Ride, through their iOS/Android phones. Once booked, the amount and captain details appear on the homepage and the captain reaches the pick-up location. To ensure safety, captains carry an additional helmet for the passenger.
