Online travel firm Yatra.com, in association with various taxi aggregators, has started a service to provide cabs to passengers across 450 cities in India.
This tie-up will allow Yatra customers to book their local and inter-city transport on the company’s mobile android app, Yatra said in a statement.
Manish Amin, co-founder and CIO of Yatra, said, “We have built technology to simultaneously showcase the offerings of multiple cab aggregators, allowing the traveller the freedom to choose from a variety of service and price options.”
To begin with, the aggregators are offering both intra-city hourly cabs and inter-city taxi services. Going forward, Yatra will tie up with intra-city point-to-point aggregators as well as self-drive and car pooling options for the convenience of passengers, he said.
Yatra’s cab marketplace provides hourly intra-city and outstation rides where bookings can be made up to 2 hours in advance.
While availing of hourly cab rides, passengers can pay directly at the end of their travel, and for outstation cab bookings, they will have to make a 25 per cent advance payment.
There is a provision for one-way, round trip and multi-city trips for outstation cab bookings and one can book hatchbacks, sedans, SUV/MUVs and even vans.
