Commuting by taxi in cities like Mumbai and Delhi was a nightmare constantly dealing with flat rates, faulty meters, creaking vehicles, rash rude and negligent drivers etc. That was until Meru Cabs rolled out its fleet of market redefining taxis. Non availability of cabs when distance is short The need for a safe and reliable taxi service was strongly felt in a city like Mumbai where customers needed a taxi service which was as good as personal chauffeur driven vehicle with significant up gradation over the existing taxi services The customer felt a vacuum in the available taxi services like hiring facility, physical taxi stands, dependability of service and the condition of the taxis on road. Taxi on call/at the door step was missing in the present taxi services.
