The service aims to connect the two important cities of Uttar Pradesh, Varanasi, and Allahabad, providing a safe and comfortable mode of transportation for young individuals who often travel long distances for education or employment.
Allahabad, also known as Prayagraj, is an important cultural and educational center in Uttar Pradesh, and it is the site of the famous Kumbh Mela, a Hindu festival that attracts millions of visitors from all over the world. The city is also home to several prestigious educational institutions, making it a popular destination for students.
The service has been welcomed by the youth of the state, who have been facing transportation issues for a long time. The taxis are equipped with GPS and other safety features, ensuring the safety and security of passengers. The project has created employment opportunities for many young people, as the government has provided training to local youth in driving and maintenance of the taxis, creating a skilled workforce that can contribute to the development of the region.
