Bharat Taxi Launch in Delhi:
Today, a new government-operated cab service is hitting the streets of Delhi, ready to challenge the long-standing monopoly of private cab companies. This initiative, known as Bharat Taxi, is a government-supported platform aiming to provide affordable, safe, and transparent taxi services to the common public. Frustrated with rising fares, surge pricing, and dissatisfaction, passengers will find Bharat Taxi a robust alternative poised to give app-based cab companies a hard competition.
As a government-backed service, Bharat Taxi has been designed keeping the interests of both riders and drivers in mind. Its mission is to establish a reliable, economical, and simple taxi network starting today in Delhi.
Dubbed as the world's largest driver-owned network, Bharat Taxi has over 51,000 drivers registered in the categories of cars, autos, and bikes across Delhi and Gujarat. Though this cooperative cab service isn't yet operational nationwide, it commences today in Delhi.

Bharat Taxi bookings can be made through the official Bharat Taxi Mobile App. Both the rider and driver apps are available for download on Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Ensure you download the app issued by Sahkar Taxi Cooperative Limited. To avail yourself of ride services, download the Rider App. For drivers wishing to join, the Driver App is necessary.
With a user-friendly interface, passengers will receive real-time cab tracking, driver details, and fare information beforehand, ensuring no confusion during travel.
The hallmark of this government cab service is its transparent fare structure. Unlike private cab companies, Bharat Taxi does not include surge pricing, ensuring passengers aren't overcharged during peak hours or adverse weather. This initiative is seen as a substantial challenge to private cab companies.

According to Sahkar Taxi Cooperative, drivers will receive the entire fare paid by customers, with claims of more than 80% fare reaching the drivers. This is set to increase drivers’ income, enabling them to deliver better service without additional pressures. This model is considered a significant step towards empowering drivers economically.
Bharat Taxi App offers passengers the convenience of auto, car, and bike taxis, making it a versatile platform for all journey needs, from short trips to long hauls. Customers can choose car, auto, or even bike rides according to their budget and need.
Passenger safety is a top priority for Bharat Taxi. Mandatory police verification for all drivers, along with in-app emergency buttons, live location sharing, and trip history features, ensure that you and your family can travel worry-free.
