Story so far
With a surge in grievances voiced by taxi and auto drivers against private ride-hailing platforms, Karnataka’s Minister of Transport Ramalinga Reddy recently announced a plan by the State Transport Department to create its own taxi and auto booking application, similar to that of private cab aggregators.
The announcement has now evolved into a concrete plan, as the Transport Department has formally requested the e-Governance Department to commence the creation of the mobile application and ensure its launch within six months.
