Call Taxi (India)

Call Taxis are taxi services in India in several cities in India. In some cities, they operate under a regular taxi permit, while in some cities, they are treated as tourist vehicles for hire. They often offer services at all times of the day. Call Taxi services are not officially recognised by the Motor Vehicles Act. They are preferred as they are considered safer, more convenient than ordinary taxis or autorickshaws, and reliable. In Mumbai, ordinary taxicabs can be booked over the internet or with a phone. In Coimbatore, a service was launched where autorickshaws can be booked over the phone. rdf:langString
