The answer is this: Ever since the Govt. via the Kadamba Bus Corp. started the non stop Bus services between Margao and Panjim and between Panjim and Mapusa; they thru their corrupt Traffic Police and loss making Kadamba Corp. decided to stop this private Taxi Sharing Service. They do not realise that they effectively denied passengers the 'CHOICE' of travelling relatively comfortably, in shared private Taxis, without having to 'RUB Shoulders With Dirty 'Ghanttis' in Kadamba Buses. Buses are Only a few Rupees cheaper anyway! The long Queues at Dirty Kadamba Bus Stations are simply not worth it. U see I have said before: The whole of India is one Maha Slum!!! The Slum like Culture and relevant attitudes are to blame always, nothing else! Nascy Caldeira Down Under .

Reminds me of some great childhood times when I have travelled in shared taxis from Margao to Panjim, Panjim to Mapusa etc etc. I wonder what has happened to that business. I suppose it is not viable any more ? Or is it that individualism has taken over where well-off people don't want to share space with anyone else and want a taxi all on their own ? Really, a shared taxi was an economical option for those who also had some time constraints, needed some more comfort than buses, and were willing to pay a bit more. regards, Samir Stay connected to the people that matter most with a smarter inbox.
