The local transportation has largely been taken care of by the likes of Uber and Ola. These app based cab hailing companies have really simplified the process of taking a local cab and considerably reduced what we otherwise used to pay for the service. Then entered motorcycle taxis to further reduce travel costs and reduce congestion. However, cab rentals for outstation travel were being largely facilitated by local providers until some new players decided to change that.
Here are some travel brands that are pushing to improve outstation cab rental, making it easier and more reliable.
