Indian Tourist Transporters Association (ITTA) Partners Exclusively with Lawyered to Provide 24×7 Legal Support for Tourist Transport Operators Nationwide

The partnership will address long-ignored legal vulnerabilities faced by tourist transport operators through Lawyer-On-The-Spot (LOTS), a tech-enabled legal solution for the mobility ecosystem.

Tourist transport operators in India often navigate across states and balance passenger safety, service commitments, and vehicle compliance.
