Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) has suspended operating motorcycles under mobile app based ride-sharing services to ensure health safety guidelines and social distancing.
Meanwhile, BRTA issued a circular in this regard on Wednesday and sent the directives to the service providing companies.
The ban on running motorcycles under ride-sharing services will be effective until further notice (two weeks for now), according to the circular.
When contacted, Pathao, one of the largest bike operators in Bangladesh, said they were still unaware of this development.
