Travel portal Yatra.com has launched a cab marketplace with various cab aggregators that will provide cabs across 450 cities in India. This tie-up with multiple cab service providers will allow Yatra customers to book their local and inter – city transport on the company’s Android mobile app itself.
Manish Amin, co-founder and CIO, Yatra.com, said, “The company has 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. At launch, we have aggregators offering both intra-city hourly cabs and inter-city taxi services. Going forward, we will be also tying up with intra-city point-to-point aggregators as well as self drive and car pooling options.”
Yatra’s cab marketplace provides hourly intra-city and outstation rides where bookings can be made up to two hours in advance. While availing hourly cab rides, customers can pay directly at the end of their travel, and for outstation cab bookings, customers will have to make a 25 per cent advance payment. Travellers can choose one-way, round trip and multi – city trips for outstation cab bookings.
