The installation of digital meters in all tourist taxis in the state is mandatory, as per the directive circulated by the Bombay High Court bench in Goa. Consequently, these cabs will now have a panic button, GPS system and a location tracker, which aims to ensure the safety and welfare of tourists.

How will the distress button work?

These panic buttons are a step towards ensuring and enhancing the security of the travellers, who can make use of this feature, if they feel threatened in any way. Once pressed, the distress button will immediately connect to the servers and send an alert to the state's control room.

The control room will then pass on this alert to the police station of the respective area and the cab will be located immediately; accordingly, necessary actions will be undertaken. This provision will be a part of the facilities provided by the cab services of Goa.
