Tourism showcases a country’s special and attractive geographical, cultural, and unique features. Transportation is an integral part and key element facilitating the development of tourism industry. Meghalaya state in northeastern part of India is a tourist paradise but the tourism department lacks adequate transport infrastructure. In order to help identify viable options, research was done during 2022-23 to elicit the expectations and experiences of the tourists and on the role played by commercial tourist taxis. A representative random sample of 71 taxi drivers at Guwahati airport awaiting tourists was interviewed in depth regarding their abilities to meet the needs of tourists and the challenges they faced. The taxi drivers were committed to promoting tourism and provided a safe affordable and convenient transport to the tourists. This paper briefly presents the findings and discusses whether an organized and trained fleet of taxis could serve as a sustainable option for enhancing the transportation infrastructure of the Meghalaya State Tourism Department. Most drivers are experienced, have good local contacts, share sufficient knowledge of the prominent sites, aware of the Meghalaya Tourism App and could be a viable and sustainable option for the state tourism department to upgrade their transport infrastructure
