Kerala Savaari, the State government’s online auto-taxi service, will be rolled out on Chingam 1 (August 17), the first day of the Malayalam almanac.
Modelled on the lines of private cab aggregators, the service will be piloted by the Labour department in the Thiruvananthapuram city Corporation limits. Initially, it will be limited to autorickshaws, 500 autorickshaws will ply in the city, Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty has said.
The service will ensure safe and dispute-free travel for the public at rates recognised by the Motor Vehicles department, besides supporting auto and taxi workers who have been facing a number of challenges in recent times.
