Tamil Nadu Government Set to Launch Ride-Hailing App to Rival Ola and Uber
Posted on: 23/Aug/2023 11:32:29 AM
In a significant announcement, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu revealed plans for the government to develop a new ride-hailing app. This innovative app aims to connect auto-rickshaws, call taxis, and goods vehicle services operating within the state.
Many residents of Tamil Nadu heavily rely on rental autos and call taxis for their transportation needs. However, these services often come with challenges such as high fares and difficulties in securing timely bookings. Additionally, an increasing number of auto-rickshaws and cars operate under private ride-hailing apps like Ola and Uber.
To address these concerns, the Tamil Nadu government is taking proactive steps to create a new app that will provide a viable alternative. This move seeks to ensure fairer commission rates for auto-rickshaw drivers and offer improved services to riders.
Drivers associated with Ola and Uber expressed their appreciation for Chief Minister Stalin`s commitment to setting up a welfare board specifically for auto-rickshaw drivers.
