Bharat Taxi Introduced to Address Concerns Over Cab Aggregator Practices, Says Amit Shah

During the recent launch of a cooperative ride-hailing service in 14 cities across Gujarat, Union Home Minister Amit Shah emphasized the platform’s aim to protect the interests of drivers while enhancing the quality of service for passengers. This initiative seeks to create a sustainable alternative to existing ride-hailing options by empowering drivers through cooperative ownership. The launch event drew attention to the potential benefits of such platforms, including fairer earnings for drivers and improved service standards for customers. The service is expected to operate in cities including Ahmedabad, Surat, and Vadodara among others, and is part of a broader movement to promote cooperative businesses in India. According to industry experts, cooperative models can lead to a more equitable sharing of profits and responsibilities in the gig economy.
