Uber has started its services in Goa. Uber announced the same through the personal notifications to its previous customers. The top cab aggregator along with other industry giants has been attempting to get a share of the taxi business in Goa for nearly a decade. Now, Uber has begun operations for Airport pick-up and drop-off.
The aggregator has also urged its former customers to try out their services in Goa. While the government has been in support of the cab aggregators it has been caught in a balancing act for the last several years because of the agitation of local taxi drivers in Goa opposing the cab aggregators in the State. The entry of Uber now opens the gates for other small and big aggregators to get a piece of the taxi business in Goa which is booming because of tourism.
