German vlogger Alex Welder reports harassment by Goa taxi drivers after using GoaMiles app; police confirm investigation.
German travel vlogger Alex Welder says he feels safer after Goa police confirmed an investigation into his complaint of harassment by local taxi drivers after using the GoaMiles app.
Police contacted him, verifying his account and looking into a similar incident involving another Indian tourist.
Welder reported being followed and pressured after choosing an app-based ride, with one driver demanding ₹500 for a ₹300 fare.
He paid an additional ₹500 after a police officer fined the driver, though officials later said no violation occurred.
Tourism Minister Rohan Khaunte emphasized the need to address growing tensions between app-based and traditional taxi operators, warning that disruptive behavior threatens Goa’s tourism reputation.
Police have not released further details but confirmed the inquiry is ongoing.
