More than hundred and fifty bikers, who share rides using ridesharing apps, have blocked different parts of the capital including Mohakhali and Mogbazar area protesting a ban, imposed by Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) on bike ridesharing services for the next two weeks.

The bikers were slowing down traffic by riding together at a slow speed, which prompted huge traffic congestion.

BRTA on 31 March imposed a ban on bike ridesharing services for two weeks which has been effective since 1 April. All the bike ridesharing companies were directed to halt their operations amid Covid-19 second wave.

The call to ban ride-sharing apps was in line with the government-mandated week-long quarantine to curb the rising cases of Covid-19.
