Panaji: The North Goa Taxi Association has alleged that the government is looking after the interests of non-Goan taxi owners and have demanded that GoaMiles be shut down. “If the state government does not shut down the GoaMiles app-based taxi services within 14 days, the government would face the consequences in the upcoming elections said North Goa Tourist Taxi Association’s general secretary Prakash Purkhe.
Purkhe inferred that while the rates for regular tourist taxis are fixed by the transport department, those for GoaMiles are fixed by the tourism department. Purkhe said that this causes a difference in the rates of the two types of taxi operators.
