The platform enables drivers to set their own fares based on government regulations, manage earnings directly, and generate e-invoices under their own name. By offering full control over operational settings and direct connections with commuters, Towner facilitates the transition of drivers into independent micro-entrepreneurs. The platform also integrates with other platforms like ONDC and Web3, expanding business opportunities for drivers.
