We have asked drivers to be on duty between 8pm and 4am and 2,500 of our cars will be on the road.” The firm says bookings during new years eve are at least 30% more than usual.

According to Thampi Kurien, general secretary of the Mumbai Rickshawmen’s Union, said, “On a normal night, around 60% of the 1 lakh rickshaws are out on the roads. But on Dec 31, this goes up to almost 80%.”
