07 Oct 2022 CW Team

Goa's transport minister, Mauvin Godinho, announced that the government will launch a 'Multimodal Transport App' to provide visitors with options for affordable last-mile connectivity.

“One who lands in Goa at Dabolim airport, whether he or she wants to travel by taxi, bus or rickshaw or motorcycle pilot (a two wheeler taxi), they can choose mode of transport through this App. It will give last mile connectivity,” Godinho said here. He stated that the government will add more electrical buses to the fleet of the state-run Kadamba Transport Corporation in order to provide better service to the people of Goa.

“Mopa airport will be a game changer for Goa. It is going to change the entire system of functioning in many ways. Today, perhaps, we might be not aware of its impact,” he said.

“Today we order everything on phone. This is new era. Thus we need to give facilities of transport to book on phone,” he said urging app- based transport should not be opposed.

He stated that the Multimodal Transport App will aid in advance booking. “We need to think how people can get cheaper and affordable transport mode,” he said.

“After Mopa Airport is commissioned, we will have to revive infrastructure of Goa. We will have to increase tourism facilities. Ecen central government will have to help us for this,” Godinho said.

He stated that a good transportation system is one of the indicators of growth. “Electrical buses give facility of smooth and comfort transportation and pollution – free transport,” he said.

“Mopa airport, being run by private operator, will have all type of taxis. Whether is its Ola, Goa Miles, Rent a car, prepaid taxi. If we fail to give such facilities at Dabolim Airport then people will prefer to land at Mopa airport. Hence, those who are opposing app- based transport system should think over this,” he said.

Godinho said that he has taken taxi operators from Dabolim airport in confidence and they have shown positivity for ‘Multimodal Transport App’.

“We will launch it in next 10 days,” he said.
