The company is providing its drivers with opportunities to improve their livelihood through attractive financial incentives to build a mutually beneficial long-term relationship with its drivers.
Taxiya also provides passengers with the option of choosing a driver they are familiar with through the ‘favourite driver’ option of the App. For instance, family trips can be planned out ahead of time on the App.
