WiFi Enabled Taxi Service GoCarz Shuts Down After Running Out Of Funds

Radio taxi operator GoCarz, which had tied-up with Airtel to offer free WiFi in their cabs, has shut shop.

That being the case, Wi-Fi is something we would like to see more companies offer. The competition now seems to have focused on mobile apps of these companies since the launch of Uber in India.

Though we are shutting the taxi operations, GoCarz will continue to serve its clients for advertising needs. You could reach us at 4163 4545. Thank you, once again, for supporting our cause as a driver, a customer, an employee, an investor or as a friend. And thank you for making GoCarz something we are proud of and will remember fondly in the years to come. Our helpline number 4545 8585 will be disabled but…
