Amit Shah meets Bharat Taxi drivers, outlines 3-year growth plan: 'You are the owner'
•Home Minister Amit Shah interacted with Bharat Taxi drivers, assuring full support and urging patience for the cooperative ride-hailing platform's expansion.
•Shah launched "Bharat Taxi" on February 5 as India's first government-backed, cooperative-based ride-hailing app, an alternative to private aggregators.
•He emphasized that drivers are the owners, not just employees, and the platform aims to benefit them directly, unlike private companies focused on owner profits.
•Drivers need to invest Rs 500 as a membership fee; after three years, 20% of profits will be capital, and 80% distributed based on kilometers driven.
•Bharat Taxi operates on a zero-commission basis with transparent fares and no surge pricing, aiming to empower 'saarthi' drivers and expand nationwide.
