“Using one transport service for multiple routes saved us from arranging a different cab at every destination. The Srinagar–Gulmarg Cab booking worked well because the pickup timing and route were discussed in advance. A useful part of the service was that the vehicle details were confirmed before the first morning pickup. The private vehicle worked well for our group because reasonable stops could be coordinated directly with the driver. Overall, the cab experience was smooth and removed a lot of uncertainty from our daily travel planning.”
