Centre for Responsible Tourism (CRT), an organisation backed by Goa Church, today came out in support of taxi operators who are opposing an app-based cab service launched by the Goa Tourism Development Corporation.

Father Freddy Braganza, incharge of CRT, said in a press release that the 'GoaMile' service introduced by GTDC is entirely operated by a Pune-based private firm.

The GTDC's initiative thus only benefits corporates and not local taxi operators, he alleged.

"Instead of curbing illegal activities in...taxi operations, the government engaged a private operator to introduce app-based taxi service without engaging and encouraging traditional tourist taxi owners and drivers to manage their own app for the service," he said.
