The app made by Nihar previously relied on public information put out by the BMTC, and was being used more than BMTC’s previous official app, which had no dynamic features. Nihar’s app was shut down in July 2019 after being operational for two years. The app was shut down after the BMTC stopped sharing its data publicly over concerns of misuse of data by taxi aggregators.
