Goa tourist taxi operators to protest against app-service

Over 30,000 tourist taxi operators will protest here next week against the Goa TourismDevelopment Corporation's app-based service 'Goa Miles', Congress MLA Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco said Saturday

Taxi drivers have been opposing Goa Miles and several operators of the app-service have been attacked by the former recently, leading to chief minister Pramod Sawant issuing a warning against such incidents

"Over 30,000 tourist taxi operators will hold a silent protest in Panaji next week. The app-service is being run by the private company. The state government is supporting a private firm at the cost of traditional taxi operators," Lourencoclaimed.
