Mobile Application to be a common platform for the entire Taxi Industry in Goa

The Goa government on Tuesday said it would come up with a mobile application, which would be a common platform for the entire taxi industry in the state.

Chief Minister Pramod Sawant held a meeting with State Tourism Minister Rohan Khunte and State Transport Minister Mauvin Godinho to discuss the issue.

Talking to reporters after the meeting, Mr. Khunte said that all taxi associations would be taken into confidence while designing the mobile application.

“We will discuss this app with everyone before finalizing the project,” the minister said. He said that the taxi business in Goa cannot stay away from adopting technology.

The issue was raised during the last assembly session, during which the government clarified that a mobile app would be introduced to bring all taxi operators on a single platform, Mr Khunte said.
