This Statement Is Regarding Public and Driver Safety over the COVID-19 Coronavirus.
Passenger and Driver safety remains at the forefront of our minds.
Advice has been issued by the Government, we have made sure all self-employed drivers working with us have understood what is required of them. This will help them to protect themselves and the travelling public.
We are working to provide drivers with disinfectants to help them keep their cars clean. The government have also advised avoiding handling cash (YOU CAN STILL PAY BY CASH IF YOU WISH). By downloading our app and register your card details which will help to reduce the risk of the virus spreading.
If we do become short-staffed because of illness then the App is already the best way to book your cab, we realise many people avoid technology and prefer to talk to someone but the App really is extremely simple to use.
Also, let’s spare a thought for the elderly who may be housebound for months. We will be making special arrangements and reducing fares for customers over 70 who need to collect essential provisions and medication throughout this crisis.
Many passengers are informing us that they feel safer travelling in a Private Taxi than in a packed train or bus. We are doing our bit to ensure that our vehicles are cleaned more regularly than usual.
We will be experiencing unprecedented times in the coming weeks with schools likely to close and potential lockdowns. We can all work together in our little way to apply common sense and measured behaviour shifts to fight this awful disease.
Many Thanks
Mr Shaz Ali
Director
