Call Taxis are taxi services in India in several cities in India.
Call Taxi in Bangaloretaxi service in mumbaiCall Taxi in Hyderabad.
In some cities, they operate under a regular taxi permit, while in some cities, they are treated as tourist vehicles for hire.[1] They often offer services at all times of the day.[2]
They are preferred as they are considered safer, more convenient than ordinary taxis or autorickshaws, and reliable.[4]
In Mumbai, ordinary taxicabs can be booked over the internet or with a phone.[5][6] In Coimbatore, a service was launched where autorickshaws can be booked over the phone.[7]
Historyedit
Call Taxis first appeared in Chennai and were described as 'no nonsense' in comparison to regular taxicabs.[8] In Bangalore, Call taxis gained prominence after the opening of the Information Technology sectors.[9]
In 2013, Uber commenced operations in India.[10] The number of Uber drivers has been growing steadily over the past few years. As the company has gained in popularity, more and more drivers are applying to drive for Uber, and driver sign ups have soared.[11]
