To guarantee fair and courteous service to customers as well as fair compensation for auto-taxi workers, Kerala has launched "Kerala Savari," the nation's first online taxi service run by a State government.

The necessity and the goals

Governments are quite concerned about the alleged unfair business practices and violations of consumer rights by private, app-based taxi aggregators.
