In a separate development, the Islamabad Police formally launched the Taxi Verification App, a digital tool designed to protect passengers by verifying taxis before their journey begins.
The initiative was led by Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, executed under the leadership of IG Islamabad Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi, to create a protected travel for all citizens, especially women, children, and late-night commuters.
The Taxi Verification App lets users scan a QR code presented inside registered taxis. Once scanned, the app rapidly confirms whether the vehicle and driver are registered with the Islamabad Police database.
Verified taxis prominently display the driver’s name and photograph, promoting transparency and accountability. In the event of any discrepancies, users can easily report issues through the app’s emergency feature.
