MTCC Moves Closer to Launching Taxi Line in Vilimalé

Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) is nearing the launch of its Malé Taxi Line service in Vilimalé, following a final inspection by senior officials including Managing Director Ahmed Saudi and Vilimalé MP Mohamed Ismail. The service aims to provide reliable, accessible transport and strengthen the public transport network.
