Radio Cabs launched in Delhi
Submitted by sarfrazyusuf on Sat, 09/12/2006 - 16:37

Continuing with the steps being taken to overhaul the public transport system in the city, the government has introduced the first batch of new Radio taxis in the capital on Friday. The dial-a-cab service is part of the government’s plan to reduce dependence on personal cars in the run up to the Commonwealth Games 2010.

Under this service, people would be able to call the taxis over the telephone and would be charged only for the distance actually traveled by them. The round-the-clock service would be operated from a centralized control room that would coordinate between the passengers and the taxis, thereby ensuring that the taxi closest to a passenger reaches him or her quickly. For this purpose all the taxis had been fitted with two way radio communication devices, hence the name - Radio Cabs. The centralized control room would be manned round the clock by trained personnel.

However, the charges for this new service would be rather steep. In fact, at Rs. 15 per kilometer, it will be almost double that of the regular black-and-yellow cabs plying on the roads. But, with the extra money, will come extra facilities like air-conditioning, bigger and better cars, luxurious and comfortable interiors, etc. For the convenience of the commuters, credit card swipe machine and online reservations system would also be introduced through the website.

According to the Delhi Transport Minister, the radio cab service would also make travel safer for passengers, especially women, since all these taxis would come equipped with a panic button which would be connected to the police control room and trigger an alarm over there in case it was pressed by a commuter, thereby providing for quick help.

This new state-of-the-art service would run on the global positioning system and had been launched keeping the present and future needs of the city in mind. The plan was to have 10,000 such taxis on the city roads by 2010, when the Commonwealth Games take place.

The license for providing this service had been issued to three companies – Metro Radio Cab, Carzenent and Mega Corporation – who would be running a modern fleet of Global Positioning System (GPS) fitted AC taxis. To begin with, Metro Cab has introduced Tata Indigo Marina vehicles for the service and it intends to increase the number of vehicles on the service to 500 by March 2007 and 3,000 by 2010.

Below are the name of Cab companies operating in Delhi and their numbers..national callers have to prefix city code of 011 and international callers have to put country code (091) and city code (011)..

Mega Cab : 41414141
Delhi Cab : 44333222
Easy Cab : 43434343
Quick Cab: 45333333

Meru Cab: 44224422

all radio cabs, autos go to noida from airport radio cabs generally charge 15Rs per KM and if you choose to go by DND (expressway) then you will have to give additional 20Rs. Along with this cabs will also charge you 25-35Rs as tax (charged to all commercial cabs)..

there should be no to; tax as Govt is not able to repair the roads,I am surprised to see where the plent of Light is there e.From Kalyan Puri to Mayur Vihar Phase I near DND Fly over where the Malls are comin already there were plenty of Lights but still our PWD Dept has time & funds to replace the light.WHen there is Prime need of ROAD which is bad shape then need of maintnace work.So I request Govt to mointor at least the proprity of things and understand the basic needs off a common man. So in my opinion there is no need of Govt as has surplus of Funds so why a common Tax payers should be boudned,as Govt officails still enjoying free tol tax.

Mansi, if you want to take a cab from Faridabad to Noida - either you will get the cab tht charge Rs. 15/- per KM or else you can take the auto instead. All radio cab will reach you withing 15-20 mins. The Rs. 7.50 per KM you are referring to is "Quick Cab" but as far as i knw they do not cover noida and faridabad at this moment :-(
