Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday directed the transport department to develop an advanced digital platform integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor app-based passenger transport services, including vehicles, drivers, their working hours, and trip allocation.

The CM was speaking at a high-level meeting to review the Maharashtra Aggregator Rules 2026. Fadnavis stressed the need for passenger safety, transparency in trip allocation, and protection of the interests of independent taxi drivers amid the growing number of vehicles operated by aggregator companies.
