Tourism Minister Rohan Khaunte on Saturday said that all taxis in the State must come under a single app so that tourists get a better experience.
He said the sector needs to adopt new technology so that operations can be streamlined.
“We need to protect the business of existing taxi operators and also adopt the technology. That is why I support the concept of getting all taxis in Goa on a common app. The State government and the sector must design a common app for the tourist taxi service,” he told reporters.
“I have spoken to Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and Transport Minister Mauvin Godinho. A common app is required for tourists who would like a better travel experience here,” Khaunte added.
Speaking about the Mopa airport scheduled to be commissioned in September, he said the State government would need to know how many taxis are needed for the facility, so that permits can be issued accordingly.
