Delhi, the capital of India is a city with a rapidly expanding economy and population. Unlike Mumbai, which is the city with a strong local rail network and plenty of taxis on the road, Delhi is based on the Metro Railroad (which is expanding rapidly), buses and Auto Rickshaws for day-to-day needs. With the subway going up in more areas, its getting easier to commute into town, but there are many steps that are not so well connected. People who want to move comfortably and conveniently would like to avoid the local bus service as its usually crowded, not air conditioned and uncomfortable compared to a subway train.
On the other hand, with NCR regions that do not have a comfortable public transport system, Taxi / cabs are the much preferred solution. Although they can be a bit expensive for everyday needs, but they are still preferred over other modes of public transportation to the steps where Metro does not go, etc. Also with the increase of multinational companies that install their facilities in the NCR region like Gurgaon, Noida, Faridabad, etc., the demand for these taxis is even greater.
Radio Taxis are an excellent example of a connected service that is optimized to serve customers when needed and in a comfortable way. These taxis are usually operated by a corporation that runs them as a management service. There are few of those corporations operating in the Delhi NCR region. A customer needs to call their service centers, all taxis are connected to the central call center where the customer requests a taxi. All taxis have a GPS unit equipped with what says the taxi is present at the moment, there is also a central information system that can tell which taxi is available to serve the customer. The call center will contact the nearest available taxi to the customer's location and send them to serve the customer for their travel needs.
Taxis are usually equipped with air conditioning and are comfortable way to get to the destination. The customer is charged on the basis of commuting distance and its a viable business in metropolitan cities like Delhi. Many corporations are running thousands of taxis and delivering satisfactory services. So the next time you need a taxi, simply book a taxi from your city's taxi service.
