Motorcycle taxis in India explained

Motorcycle taxis in India are a form of taxicab services. They have existed since 1981, when the Government of Goa started issuing permits to operate them.[1]

History

The Goa Motorcycle Taxi Riders Association (GMTRA) was founded in 1980 to operate motorcycle taxis in the state.[2] Operators are referred to as pilots and operate using yellow coloured motorcycles. They are not regulated by a fare meter.[3]
