One more name has been added to the list of taxi aggregators in Mumbai. ApnaCabs — a government authorised aggregator of Black and Yellow as well as Cool Cab taxis — has been launched in the city. It would be competing with other taxi aggregators like Ola, Uber, Meru and Taxi For Sure.

As women safety is one of the prime concerns, a security device has been installed in each of the registered 'Kaali-Peeli' and Cool Cabs. The company's command centre will monitor all movements on GPS and a panic button is installed in each vehicle which lets passengers call for assistance in case of any untoward incident.
"To enforce strict quality standards, ApnaCabs conducts routine spot checks for all the cabs in its network. Customers are charged by the government mandated rates as per the meter reading. All the drivers empaneled with ApnaCabs are fully licensed, insured and have undergone an extensive background check. They are experienced in driving throughout the city and know the safest and quickest routes for maximum customer delight. Apart from it, zero fare refusals, polite drivers, hassle-free and quick pickups and drop-off are other features," claimed their statement.
Speaking on its launch, Srikanth Lingidi, founder and chief executive officer of ApnaCabs, said: "The prevailing taxi service scenario in the country struggles with two challenges: customer security and compliance with government rules. With ApnaCabs, we are targeting at plugging both these gaps."
This service will be available round the clock with the company providing full day car rentals, half-day rentals and special packages for 16-hour, 8-hour and 4-hour. It has, at present, a network of over 1,600 'Kaali Peeli' taxis and cool cabs and is looking at expanding its number in the near future.
