The app, which was launched virtually on Wednesday, offers services to persons in the trucking, taxi, bus and biker businesses, providing a platform for drivers and riders to subscribe to an all-in-one application for daily transporting, delivery, shopping and mobile money needs.

“What we are doing here tonight is opening a new chapter where technology meets transport,” Montague said.

Minister Montague also encouraged cab drivers to utilise this opportunity as a means to maximise streams of revenue by not limiting services to simply transporting people the old-fashioned way.

“What RedPlate offers is an advanced improvement to what currently exists, and what is even more, it is home grown”.

Montague took the opportunity to once again challenge the industry to unify and develop plans that address the next chapter of service delivery, expressing pleasure that the RedPlate App provides another option for the transport of both people and goods.
