OneRyder launches the first ever Bike Taxi service in Delhi

Haven’t you at times wondered while stuck in a traffic jam, sitting in a cab that those lucky two wheelers are just negotiating the traffic so well, and you wish if you could do so and not be late this time for that family engagement or that critical business meeting.

Well for Delhiites, it is no more a fanciful dream. OneRyder, a seed-funded startup established in 2015, launches the first of its kind Bike Taxi service in Delhi on Tuesday. OneRyder works based on a mobile application that helps customers find and book a Bike Taxi on demand in their vicinity.

Rahul Gupta, Founder and CEO of OneRyder says, “I first got the idea of launching a Bike Taxi service when I visited Thailand a few years ago. Today, OneRyder has become a reality with over 70 riders on-board for our launch in Delhi and with a target of 200 riders joining our mission by the end of April.”

All rides of OneRyder will originate from Delhi and commuters can be dropped up to 15 km from the borders of the city. OneRyder is available to all Android users in Delhi starting April 5.

The company’s riders are equipped with two ISI certified helmets with hairnets (one for the rider and other for pillion) and training in road safety, traffic rules & customer etiquettes. Safety is the key focus areas for OneRyder.

There is also additional gear such as raincoats that will be provided to customers in the monsoon season. The mobile app consists of a speeding regulator that notifies the operations team when a bike exceeds the 50 mph speed limit. Consequently, strict action is taken against every rider who defies road safety rules adopted by OneRyder.
