Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan launches state govt’s own e-taxi service app

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday launched the LDF government’s own e-taxi service app — named ‘Kerala Savari’ — which is considered to be the first such initiative by any state in the country.

Vijayan also flagged off, at the app launch event, the auto-rickshaws which would be operating under the new online taxi hiring service that has been rolled out by the state Labour Department.

Under the new initiative, the objective is to link the existing autorickshaw-taxi networks in Kerala with an aim to ensure safe and dispute-free travel for the public at affordable rates prevailing in the state.
