Rapido is an app that connects commuters who are seeking a ride to ones that have an empty seat on their two wheelers. It essentially connects commuters with riders going in the same direction for a fee. Anybody can register as a Rapido captain if they have a two-wheeler and a valid driving license. Once registered, the company claims to verify the documents and adds them to its database of captains, who will then be allotted rides based on the route they take.

Rapido is a good idea to solve real problem. Clearly regulators / legislators are years behind new "App based" business models/services that are rapidly springing up, solving real problems and user needs. I have personally used Rapido in Bangalore and it works ! Banning just because of few incidents is so typical ... Time to change the mindset ...
