GoaMiles taxis preferred by tourists for a reason in Goa

Our respective governments have pampered the taxi operators/owners over the years, tolerated their 'dadagiri'. Well, the whole world knows what good service the striking taxi operators/owners have been  offering .

I therefore personally feel that the government is doing the right thing by not scrapping the GoaMiles taxis despite  the ongoing pressure from these local striking taxi owners/operators as the above mentioned app-based taxis are currently  definitely giving a better service for all the visiting tourists and giving value for their hard earned money who come here simply to explore the unique beauty of Goa . Yes,  today if the GoaMiles taxis have become very popular and are mostly  preferred by tourists (including locals) then that's because they provide good service at cheaper rates in Goa .
