Haryana recently became the second state in India to officially allow two-wheeled motorcycles to act as taxis

World Moto (OTCMKT:FARE) has shipped Moto-Meters to entrepreneurs establishing motorcycle taxi fleets in Gurgaon in India.

The leader in advanced solutions for motorcycle taxis and on-demand transport said several companies, such as Bikxie, Baxi, and M-Taxi have begun offering motorcycle taxi services in Gurgaon, Haryana, in recent weeks.

The company announced that Moto-Meters have now been shipped to this rapidly expanding market, and the feedback thus far has been positive.

Haryana recently became the second state in India to officially allow two-wheeled motorcycles for commercial passenger carriage, and multiple operators are currently establishing motorcycle taxi fleets in what is likely to be the world's first city with a fully professionalized motorcycle taxi service, World Moto said.

During discussions with the company, several operators have expressed their intention to expand their fleets to tens of thousands of vehicles during the coming year.

"The significance of fully professionalized motorcycle taxi fleets in a country with more than a billion people cannot be understated. With so much at stake, there is going to be a race to grab market share and the technologies employed are going to set the standard for how this market will evolve in other areas around the world,” said chief executive officer, Paul Giles.

“Apps and the Moto-Meter have distinct case uses and both are a necessity for operators who want to compete and thrive," he added.
