RTO Satish Clarifies: Bike Taxis Allowed Only with Yellow Number Plates

Madikeri, Nov 13: Madikeri RTO Satish has stated that it is mandatory for bike taxis operating in Madikeri to display yellow license plates. Recently, auto and taxi drivers in the city protested against the operation of bikes with white license plates under the name 'Rapido Bike Taxi.' Following this, the company suspended booking services via the Rapido app in Madikeri.

Commenting on the matter, RTO Satish explained that operating a taxi with a white license plate is not permitted. All those previously providing Rapido services in Madikeri were using white-plated vehicles. If these operators obtain the necessary permits and switch to yellow license plates, they—along with auto-rickshaws—can legally provide such services.

Currently, no one within the Madikeri jurisdiction has obtained RTO authorization for yellow-plated commercial vehicles, and the company has suspended bookings in the area. The RTO warned that if services are resumed using white-plated vehicles, authorities will track them down and take appropriate legal action.
