The race to deliver food and goods within minutes is creating traffic chaos in Mumbai. Traffic police have flagged the widespread use of e-bikes, now often replaced with motorcycles by food delivery apps, as a major contributor to the city’s congestion. This growing nuisance has prompted stringent measures, including the seizure of e-bikes last year. According to officials, despite repeated meetings and reminders to food delivery app executives to enforce strict rules and blacklist repeat offenders, concrete action is yet to be taken.
