Hyderabad: As Telangana inches closer to voting day for the next Union government on May 13, bike taxi provider Rapido is offering free vehicle services to voters in Hyderabad and a few other districts like Karimnagar, Khammam and Warangal districts.
As part of its nationwide campaign, Rapido will collaborate with Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), Telangana, to encourage voting on polling day. It aims to deploy 10 lakh ‘captains’ across 100 cities on polling day. Parts of Hyderabad fall under different Lok Sabha seats like Malkajgiri, Secunderabad and even Chevella.
