A venture of Orix Auto Infrastructure Services Limited (OAIS), the fleet of around 100 taxis was flagged off by state Transport Minister Subhas Chakraborty in Kolkata today.
The unique feature in these cabs is a distress button connected to the Kolkata Police headquarters at Lalbazar, , which will be installed in the cabs. This feature will come handy in case of an emergency.
With the introduction of the “Kolkata Cab”, it will be time to say goodbye to rude taxi drivers and long queues. A call to the nationwide local numbers 44-222-222 and 44-333-222 will ensure that the cab is at one’s doorstep within 15 minutes.
The cab will also provide the option of paying through credit cards. So, you need not worry even if you have forgotten your wallet at home or have run out of cash.
Last but not the least, the fares have been pegged at a pocket-friendly Rs 15 per kilometre. The firm, which introduces the cab in Kolkata, has claimed that a tamper-proof electronic fare meter has been installed in the cab for smooth and transparent transaction.
