Research on "City Rickshaw Barrier to Entry", Bikalpa-an AlternativeBasanta Adhikari
E-Rickshaw or city-rickshaw or city-safari as they are popularly known are one of the latest entry in the transport system of Nepal. Flexible, environmental friendly and affordable, these e-vehicles have been providing the answer to the connectivity issue mostly in flat terrain areas of Nepal. In these cities, the numbers of registered city-rickshaws is based on a quota system.
The research is based on the city of Biratnagar, where the quota system permits registration of 300 of these city-rickshaws. The quota allocated may vary from one municipality to other where these e-vehicles ply on. The government’s decision of regulating these city-rickshaws through the quota system has brought about market distortion not only in Biratnagar but in other cities as well. Market imperfection has created a distortion between the demand of city-rickshaws and their supply which has prevented customers from getting good service and caused difficulty for drivers and owners to earn their livelihood.
For economically deprived country like Nepal, these means of survival keeps great importance. But this kind of barrier to entry creates obstacles to those, who want to make a living pursuing this job. It will also left the large number of passenger without choice, which forced people to use the same old means of transport that is costly compare to city rickshaw.
Concerning this Bikalpa– an Alternative conducted a research on “City Rickshaw: Barriers to Entry” in Biratnagar, to find out the problem and its impact on the broader level. This research will help us to analyze how the barrier to entry has created impact on the livelihood of the low earning rickshaw drivers/owners, and what is the cost of barriers to entry to the common masses.
