New app and portal to help the travellers navigate through highways to be launched soon
The government is all set to launch a new app and portal that will help the travellers navigate through highways in a way that would be completely different from the types of applications that netizens currently use. Hence in future if we are on the highways and are lost, then we will have a help available with us.
Apart from providing the best route to reach one’s desired destination, the app will also provide a map of toll plazas on the route. It will provide the exact fees to be paid at each plaza along with information of diversions on highways and details of concessionaire for each stretch.
The good news is that the new app can be downloaded for free and will be available on all major mobile platforms. Already NHAI (National Highways Authorities of India) had launched such a service few months back, however that provided limited information.
One of the ministry officials while giving the details about this app mentioned that this app has been improvised and will navigate commuters to not just national highways but also through other state highways and roads. One can also check whether a toll plaza is operating legally and how much they should pay at each toll plaza. This app will also give the information about nearby hospitals, police station, eating joints etc.
The app will soon be launched formally by the road, transport, highway and shipping minister Nitin Gadkari.
