A new city-based company launched ‘Nam Taxi’, a taxi and autorickshaw aggregator, which promises to do away with the hidden fares by charging commuters per kilometre.
Lyricist V Nagendra Prasad launched the app at a media conference last week. Speaking about the new player, founder of the company
V Vijayalakshmi said the app balances the interests of the commuters as well as drivers.
“Other operators in the market charge about Rs 25 per kilometre of which only Rs 15/km goes to the driver. On our platform, the fare is fixed at Rs 18/km and the driver will get Rs 16/km,” she said.
