PANAJI: Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said that the state government will begin taxi operations at Manohar International Airport (Mopa) via the Goa Taxi App and won’t accept `dadagiri’ of a few.
“The state government will begin taxi operations at Manohar International Airport (Mopa) via the Goa Taxi App and won’t accept `dadagiri’ of a few,” said CM Sawant.
He also reassured that the Goa taxi app would operate based on government-prescribed fares adding that taxi operators would not suffer losses.
“Starting the Goa taxi app is an overall decision of the government mainly to get the technology-driven app in the State. It is planned for the taxi owners, and they will not face losses”.
A leader of taxi operators’ unions said they were opposed to app-based taxi service at the newly inaugurated Manohar International Airport (MIA) in Goa and would make only four trips per day if it was introduced.
The airport will receive its first domestic flight on January 5, 2023.
Last month on 28 September, CM Pramod Sawant stated that his administration was committed to bringing app-based cab services to the coastal state.
“I want to give you an assurance that in a few days, app-based taxis will be available,” said Sawant.
