MOPA: Greenfield Mopa Airport Taxi Association has alleged that the state government is trying to create a divide between the taxi owners from Pernem and Mopa.
“The government is trying to divide the taxi owners through falsehoods. We will stick to our demand of opposing the app and continue batting for the counter for yellow, black taxis at Mopa airport,” the association said.
The association has also called for a protest on January 2, demanding a yellow and black taxi stand at the Mopa airport and for the government’s failure to protect the people’s interests.
The association has confirmed that taxi owners from Mandrem are still supporting them and will be a part of the mega protest on January 2 in opposing the Goa Taxi app and their demand for a ‘yellow, black taxi’ counter at Mopa.
‘Together for Mopa Airport’ has convened several corner meetings across Pernem and has claimed that it commands the support of all the taxi operators in Mopa.
The association said that the Goa government would introduce an app-based taxi service by taking all the stakeholders into confidence.
“We do not want app-based taxi service. We will not allow app-based service. If app-based taxi service is introduced, taxi operators from across Goa will come there,” they said.
The Greenfield Mopa Airport Taxi Association, Mopa Airport Local Taxi Association and Mopa Airport Taxi Association have come together and formed `Together for Mopa Airport’ opposing app-based taxi service.
