While the North Goa Rent-a-Car Association had recently called for a revision of the government’s decision to ban renting cars in the State and had asked that no new permits be granted but to legalize the ones that have currently applied with the Transport department..

Speaking over the phone calangute mla Michael lobo said that the rent a cab owners had met him asking to find an amicable solution with the tourist taxi owners for which I had asked time to discuss the issue from the chief minister Laxmikant Parsekar and other party functionaries on Monday …

Mr lobo said though rent a cab wanted tourist taxi owners to be included in their scheme he was not sure whether there was any provision to do so and therefore there was a need for legal opinion to take from advocate general on the concerned issue

Mr lobo also stated that the issue had to be deliberated properly as it was connected with the livelihood of the goans specially the goan taxi owners …
