To recognize Shaheed Divas today, pioneers of Taxi Unions the nation over will dispatch their own mobile application, to free their drivers from the prohibitive and absolutist taxicab aggregators with profound pockets. In a representative motion, 86 years after Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev were hanged in a Lahore imprison, the taxi startup unions have taken issues into their own hands in their battle against falling incomes and intense working conditions for drivers from the hyper financed taxi aggregators like Ola and Uber.
Taxis drivers related with Ola and Uber crosswise over 6 urban communities have just begun utilizing a ride-hailing mobile application that has been created by Taxi for the particular unions in these urban areas.

They now have the genuine flexibility to work and win at their own particular pace, without being managed by unsustainable and simulated motivators or being abused by their present businesses. This will encourage genuine business enterprise the nation over."
