They act as an intermediate public transport mode and provide first and last-mile connectivity. However, they are still an inefficient sector that neither answers appropriately to the changing dynamics of urban mobility in India nor embeds a sustainable pattern of transportation. A multitude of challenges plagues the auto- Chennai, rickshaw ecosystem some of which includes lack of technological up- Tamil Nadu gradation contributing to poor air quality, inefficiencies in operations January, 2019- as auto-drivers are less organized and competition from other modes February, 2020 of transport such as Cab Aggregators. On the other hand, cities, (Not to scale) despite having good public transport, are falling short of reliable last-mile connectivity. It is therefore pertinent that the Auto-rickshaw sector needs to move towards Sustainable Businesses, where less polluting technologies are promoted among service providers, auto-rickshaws act as reliable and viable options for last-mile connectivity to public transport, at the same time, customers are educated and aware of the need to shift to sustainable modes of transport. -
Analysing the Role of Government Regulations & Intervention in E-Rickshaw Industry of Delhi
International Journal of Management and Applied Science, ISSN: 2394-7926 Volume-2, Issue-12, Dec.-2016 ANALYSING THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS & INTERVENTION IN E-RICKSHAW INDUSTRY OF DELHI 1RITU KHANNA, 2SHIKHA SINGH, 3RAMAN ARORA, 4HARSHIEL CHAHAL, 5ALEENA KHAN, 6ARUSHI GUPTA, 7MUSKAN GUPTA, 8TALAT KHANAM 1,2,3Associate Professor, Department of Economics, Daulat Ram College, University of Delhi 4,5,6,7,8Department of Economics, Daulat Ram College, University of Delhi Abstract— In an era where urban mobility plays a vital role in the economic growth, e-rickshaws have emerged as a promising mode of transport in Delhi. With zero emissions, high accessibility and low operational costs, they provided a shot in the arm to Delhi’s landscape within the first few years of their introduction. However, a policy failure and lack of state involvement in the industry failed to exploit it to its optimum best. These unregistered vehicles operated by unlicensed drivers sprouted within a legal ambiguity until the incidents of negligent driving reached an intolerable high. Hence, this study is an attempt to analyse the role of effective governance in the e-rickshaw industry of Delhi conducted against the backdrop of a dearth of existing literature and reliable data on e-rickshaws. It is based on findings of a primary research survey of 220 e-rickshaw drivers in Delhi and an intensive review of the concerned legislations. In a time span of five years, a multitude of institutions worked in isolation to form policies to regulate these battery operated vehicles but no substantive gains were made until the Motor Vehicles Act (Amendment) 2015. -

Socio-Economic Profile of Cycle Rickshaw Pullers: a Case Study

The adverse effects of this profession on the health of the rickshaw pullers, the problems faced by them and their remedial measures have been also taken into account. The study is based on primary data collected through the field survey and direct questionnaire to the respondents in Aligarh city. The survey was carried out during the months of February and March, 2010. The overall analysis of the study reveals that the rickshaw pullers are one of the poorest sections of the society, living in abject poverty but play a pivotal role in intra-city transportation system. Neither is their working environment regulated nor their social security issues are addressed. They are also unaware about the governmental schemes launched for poverty alleviation and their accessibility in basic amenities and infrastructural facilities is also very poor.
