Rawalpindi:
Unemployment, inflation, the privatization of government institutions and the rowing of public service bills have forced government and private sector to occupy part -time work as a motorcyclists for bicycle services and bicycle delivery chains based on applications.
Not only are the lower quality employees, but even the staff to the scale-16, began to roll for Bykea and the food delivery services after working hours, the number of runners at Rawalpindi reaching 25,000.
Women have also entered the field, by repairing exclusively to female passengers, while growing prices have pushed passengers to also use male bicycle services.
As the bicycle services offer lower prices – by loading RS200 for routes where rickshaws require RS400–500 – Traditional taxi, ripe and Qingqi companies have been seriously affected.
Some runners now take two passengers per travel, while the police report an increase in tearing and steering wheel incidents involving criminals pretending to be cyclists. The runners say that their daily part -time profits vary from RS700 to Rs1,000, in addition to wages.
The runner leaders, including Farman Ali and Hishmat Ali, argued that authentic riders earn Halal livelihoods, while criminals abuse the system by reserving runners and steering wheel or steering wheel or passengers.
The fourth year government employee, Faisal Siddiqui, who works part -time as a food delivery rider, said that he earned 500 to 600 rupees between 6 p.m. and 1 a.m., which helps cover household expenses.
With the current privatization of schools and health units, experts predict the number of part -time cyclists will continue to increase.
