Uttar Pradesh: Yogi Govt Plans Bharat Taxi Expansion To All 75 Districts, Villages With Zero Commission, No Surge Pricing

Lucknow, September 16, 2026 - The Yogi government in Uttar Pradesh is set to expand its popular 'Bharat Taxi' model to all 75 districts and villages of the state, with no commission fees or surge pricing for passengers. This move aims to provide a uniform taxi service across the state, benefiting both travelers and drivers. Currently active in Lucknow and Kanpur, the model will be brought to rural areas through Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS).

This expansion is expected to provide a new, affordable transport option for the general public, particularly in rural areas where taxi services are currently limited.
