The main aim behind creating and developing this app is to unite all taxi drivers and operators on one single platform. Such kind of a platform is only going to make taxi searching easier, especially for tourists and frequent travellers. The Goan government has also assured the people that app-based taxi services will be available in the state very soon. However, the owners of private taxis are a little concerned about the sudden development, as it may bring in more competition to them.
