The Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) has announced that its Male’ Taxi Line mobile application is now available for Android users through the Google Play Store, expanding access to the service across the Greater Male’ region.
The application was initially launched exclusively for iOS users and is designed to provide a more convenient taxi-booking experience for residents and visitors. With the Android release, a wider range of smartphone users can now access the platform’s services.
The app enables users to book taxis with a few taps, schedule rides at least three hours in advance, and make payments through multiple options. These include a built-in digital wallet, credit and debit card payments via a secure banking gateway, and a QR-based Scan and Pay feature. Users can also view records of completed and upcoming journeys through the app’s travel history function.
MTCC stated that the platform incorporates several features aimed at improving passenger safety and convenience. An emergency button allows users to quickly alert authorities during emergencies, while an integrated call-and-text function enables communication with drivers without disclosing personal phone numbers. The application also provides a lost-and-found reporting feature to assist passengers in recovering belongings left behind in taxis.
The company highlighted that the service operates a fleet of electric taxis as part of its efforts to support environmentally friendly transportation in the Maldives. MTCC said the initiative reflects its commitment to providing safe, reliable and sustainable transport services.
The Male’ Taxi Line application is now available on both Apple and Android devices. MTCC said further updates are planned to introduce new features and enhance the user experience, while ongoing collaboration with local authorities and technology partners will continue to support the development of the country’s transport infrastructure and promote accessible, eco-conscious travel options.
