Bike taxis are increasingly venturing into the streets of Antananarivo. Taking advantage of traffic congestion plaguing the capital, some bike taxi drivers are transporting passengers to the city center, using detours through Isotry and Tsaralalàna. While some municipalities on the outskirts of Antananarivo allow them to operate within their jurisdiction, the capital does not. In Ampitatafika, Andoharanofotsy, and Anosizato, bike taxis can work within their municipal limits. In Antananarivo, however, this mode of transport remains prohibited. This weekend, the Urban Municipality of Antananarivo (CUA) reminded in a statement that "bike taxis, cycle rickshaws, and tricycles are not authorized to carry out passenger transport activities on CUA territory." Despite this ban, bike taxis continue to circulate in several neighborhoods of the capital. "The Anosizato-Anosy route costs around 1,000 to 1,500 ariary," says Anita, a regular user of this transport. This growing presence is not unanimous, however. For some road users, bike taxis are further complicating traffic. "They don't always follow traffic rules and can make unpredictable maneuvers. This increases the risk of congestion and accidents," says Ralambomanana, a motorist. For drivers, however, this activity represents above all a source of income. "It's our livelihood. We transport clients to earn money and support our families," explains Tojo Rabefarihy, a bike taxi driver. Among users, the assessment is more nuanced. Faced with endless traffic jams in the capital, some view bike taxis as a practical solution to get around faster. "When cars are stuck for hours, the bike taxi allows us to reach our destination faster at a much more affordable rate," continues Anita, a user.
