Rawalpindi:
Unemployment, inflation, privatization of government institutions and public services invoices that are triggered have forced government and private sector employees to assume part -time work as motorcyclists for bicycles based on bicycles based on applications and food delivery chains.
Not only the smallest employees, but even the staff until scale 16 have started driving for Bykea and food delivery services after working hours, with the number of passengers in Rawalpindi that reach 25,000.
Women have also entered the field, attending exclusively to passengers, while ascending rates have also pushed passengers to use male male bicycle services.
As bicycle transport services offer lower rates, RS200 charges for routes where Rickshaws demand RS400–500, traditional businesses, Rickshaw and Qingqi have been seriously affected.
Some riders are now taking two passengers for a trip, while the police reports an increase in the incidents of outburst and robbery that involve criminals that pass by riders. Passengers say that their daily gains vary from RS700 to RS1,000, in addition to salaries.
The leaders of the riders, including Farman Ali and Hishmat Ali, argued that genuine corridors earn halal living, while criminals misuse the system by reserving the pilots and stealing them or passengers.
The fourth grade government employee, Faisal Siddiqui, who works part -time as a food delivery pilot, said RS500–600 wins between 6 PM and 1 AM, which helps cover household expenses.
With the continuous privatization of schools and health units, experts predict that the number of part -time passengers will continue to increase.
