Information Madness

Good news for women commuters of Mumbai and women who plans to visit mumbai. A new, all-woman taxi service was launched on Sunday, to cater primarily to women travellers. The Priyadarshini Taxi service has 29 women drivers behind the wheels. The pink-coloured cab fleet, will also have counters at the airport.

Stree Shakti Kendra, the organisation which started this service said the vehicles are owned by the drivers, and will help make them independent. The new service will be slightly more expensive than the usual, yellow-and-black metred taxis. The fare for the first kilometre will be Rs15, and Rs12 for every kilometre thereafter. The government has approved the fare structure for the new private taxi companies that have begun operations in the city. 

The women drivers, who are also well-versed in English, have been trained not only in driving skills, but also in self-defence techniques. They are confident of taking on aggressive male cabbies of Mumbai.(via:Punekar)
