The app aims to connect passengers with both local and regional taxi operators through an open collaboration platform. This registration signifies the app’s compliance with Latvian transport regulations and its readiness for operation. Smile Taxi intends to provide a broader range of taxi options across the country, potentially increasing competition within the ride-hailing market.
