Bike taxis reshaping sharing economy, modern transportation in Indian cities

NEW DELHI - First it was the cab revolution and now it is the turn of bike taxis that are changing the way people travel across India.

Commonly known as "baxis", a combination of the words bike and taxis, the vehicles have made commuting affordable, faster and safer.

The concept of baxis is not new. In highly populated countries like Indonesia and Thailand, where traffic jams are a daily routine, baxis take people around in a fraction of the time a car takes.
