Call Taxis are taxi services in India in various cities in India. In some cities, they operate under a regular taxi permit, while in some cities they are treated as rental tourist vehicles. They often offer services at all times of the day. Call Taxi services are not officially recognized by the Motor Vehicle Law. They are preferred as they are considered safer, more convenient than ordinary taxis or autorickshaws, and reliable. In Mumbai, ordinary taxis can be booked over the internet or with a phone. In Coimbatore, a service was launched where autorickshaws can be booked by phone.
Calling taxis first appeared in Chennai and were described as "no nonsense" compared to regular taxis. In Bangalore, Call taxis gained prominence after the opening of the information technology sectors. After 2013, Uber began operating in India. The ranks of Uber have been growing steadily for the last few years. As the company has gained in popularity, more and more drivers are applying to drive for Uber, and the driver's signal rises have skyrocketed.
