A ground report in BKC found that long walks, humid weather and patchy bus connectivity continue to challenge daily commuters despite efforts to promote public transport.
Many office-goers reported spending up to 20 minutes walking from metro stations and bus stops to reach their workplaces, highlighting the need for stronger last-mile connectivity in Mumbai’s busiest business district.

A lost phone often feels gone forever. But for thousands of people across Mumbai and beyond, one police officer’s determination helped change that.
Using a meticulous tracking system and digital records, PSI Sham Ransheware has helped trace and recover more than 3,500 missing and stolen mobile phones. His work has reunited owners with devices that had travelled across states, often passing through the hands of people who never knew they were using stolen phones.

Not a HDFC customer, speculating here that this might be related to them sending an auth SMS to verify SIM on device. Android gives direct access, iOS only presents a sheet with pre-filled auth string that you have to send manually.
Could be because of that.

Hey @HDFC_Bank how does this security differ for ANDROID ?
Why different rules for android and apple devices ?
First of its kind security measure.

I don’t get the “commercial use” angle everyone seems to be making here. By that logic, every Zomato, Swiggy, Blinkit, Zeppo, etc. rider is also carrying out commercial operations using their personal two-wheelers. How is that OK but not bike taxis?

Maharashtra Govt banned bike taxis for the first time in 2023. There was even a high court order to that effect.
But they continued
They were banned for the second time in July 2025. This time a minister even posted videos on social media banning them
But they continued. One company even sponsored an event conducted by the same minister's son
Then they were banned for the third time in Dec 2025. An RTO inspector filed an FIR, seized some bikes and everything.
They still continued
In Mar 2026, The govt definitively banned bike taxis. They put out a govt notice, officially revoked their licences, which for some reason were still active despite all previous bans.
Yesterday while waiting for an Uber, I saw 5 bikes make pickups in front of me. There was even a case where a couple, who were going somewhere, booked two bike taxis and went together
I guess at this point in time, this bike taxi "ban" is like Article 51A of the Indian Constitution, which urged people to protect public property
It exists on paper, but everyone ignores it
