There are several cases where the suspects pretend to be commuters, and later snatch cabs from the drivers.Īnurag Kulshrestha, president of TRAX - an NGO working towards road safety - said that the verification of cabs and drivers is a good move. “These drivers cannot offer lifts to unknown people without a valid booking process, like online bookings,” Saha said.Īfter a cab ride is booked online - through a mobile application - it is easier to trace the suspect(s), police said. Such drivers will also be sensitised to only ferry people who book cabs following a valid process. We will make a database of these vehicles and the drivers, which will be used when needed,” he said. “People with criminal records or tainted pasts will not be allowed to drive cabs. We will verify the registration paper of a cab, pollution certificate, insurance, and driver’s credentials,” Saha said, adding that verification of all the drivers is also important for the safety of the commuters. We have launched a verification drive for all the private cabs and taxis in the district. “There are 13,000 registered cabs in Gautam Budh Nagar. Ganesh Saha, deputy commissioner of police (traffic), Gautam Budh Nagar, said there are instances when commuters are looted after taking a lift, or passengers who don’t make online bookings - a valid process - snatch away cabs from drivers.
