The Goa government will soon require taxis to display QR code rate cards, according to the state's Transport Minister.
Goa's Transport Minister announced that the state will introduce QR code based rate cards for all registered taxis. The move aims to bring greater price transparency and simplify fare verification for passengers.
Under the new system, each taxi will display a QR code that, when scanned, shows the official fare structure applicable for the journey. Commuters can use any smartphone to verify the rates before or during the ride, reducing disputes over charges.
The minister confirmed the policy decision but did not disclose a detailed rollout schedule. Authorities said they will issue guidelines to taxi operators in the coming days to ensure smooth implementation across the state.
