The first phase of the Kerala Savari project implemented by the government by connecting the auto-taxi networks in the state will be implemented in the Thiruvananthapuram municipality. Then, if necessary, necessary changes will be made and the scheme will be extended to the major cities of the state. The Kerala Sawari scheme is designed and implemented with the aim of providing a helping hand to the taxi auto workers who are facing many difficulties and also to provide a safe and hassle-free ride to the general public at government approved rates. In Kerala Savari, only 8% service charge will be charged along with the autotaxi fare set by the government. In other online taxi services it is above 25 percent.
It has been decided to use the eight percent amount collected as service charge for the implementation of the project and for providing promotional incentives to passengers and drivers. In all the current online taxi systems, there is a 20 to 30 percent difference between the fares received by motorists and the fares charged to passengers. There is also a situation where companies increase the charge for services up to one and a half times during peak hours. Labor Department Minister V. Shivankutty had earlier stated that there will be no such fare hike in Kerala Savari and fair wages will be ensured to the workers.
Palakkad Indian Telephone Industries is providing technical assistance to the project which is being implemented under the supervision of Motor Workers Welfare Fund Board of Labor Department with the cooperation of Planning Board, Legal Metrology, Transport, IT and Police Departments.
