Ridesharing Launches Amid Tourism Surge

Ridesharing officially launched this past Wednesday with ten rides on day one—and skyrocketed to twenty-five by day two. Designed to complement—not compete—with taxis, the program has already seen seventy-nine applications, with nineteen approved and seventeen paying up for permits, plates, and badges. Another sixteen are just steps away from full approval. The minister noted a surge in transportation activity after the ridesharing announcement, with year-over-year growth jumping from 34% to 52%. Meanwhile, 72 out of 108 previously unlicensed taxis have renewed their licenses. With a cap of 150 permits for phase one, this rollout couldn’t be more timely—perfect for summer tourism and Carnival season. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
