Bangalore : Meru Cabs, India’s largest and favorite radio taxi service, announces the launch of their operations in the pink city of Jaipur with the tagline ‘Padhariyo Thare Des’.

The world-class metered radio cab service is completely technology and systems driven and will offer Jaipurians a travel experience that is reliable, safe and comfortable.

Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Neeraj Gupta, Founder and Managing Director & promoter of V-link stated, “We launched the premium “metered taxi” business for the first time in Mumbai in April 2007, followed by Hyderabad, Delhi and Bangalore. In response to the exceptional consumer demand for Meru cabs the company now expands its footprints in the tier 2 cities as well with Jaipur being the first city.”

Mr. Siddhartha Pahwa, CEO, Meru cabs stated, “Having successfully operated Meru Cab services across 4 cities, we are delighted to bring this state-of-the-art travel experience to Jaipur.  We aim to provide our customers world class transportation backed by best-in-class customer service, high end technology and transparency in billing that will provide customers a significantly better travel experience. Meru Cabs is well established in the radio taxi space and given our expertise in understanding commuter requirements, we are confident of offering Jaipurians an unparalleled travel experience. “

Over the years, one of the most important aspects of Meru Cab services has been to provide a safe and reliable commuting experience to customers through the continuous tracking of cabs via the GPS and GPRS system. Based on this system, Meru recently launched the ‘Trip Tracker Service’ an SMS based service through which an appointed person or family member of the commuter gets regular updates of the cab location and journey details. This feature is necessary to give the much needed safety assurance especially to women passengers & senior citizens traveling alone at odd hours. A first of its kind initiative, it is an opt-in service and will be available free of charge to all Meru customers in Jaipur.

Present on the occasion, Bollywood diva Neha Dhupia said, “Meru is the first name that comes to one’s mind when one thinks of metered radio cabs. It is a great initiative and we have seen how successful the brand has been in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad. A trusted service, I have turned to Meru many times and they have always proved completely reliable and comfortable.”

In addition, Meru Cab services offers various other cutting edge facilities like an automated audio-visual speed alarm, ensuring the safety of the customer as well as the driver, the convenience of booking a car through a 24×7 call center or website & automated e-bill at the end of the journey. For this purpose, Meru has own central dedicated call center for the city of Jaipur which can be reached by dialing 4422442. Of course, customers can always hail a cab on the streets if it is not occupied.

Meru follows a stringent driver selection and training process at “Meru Training Academy” thereby ensuring well groomed & courteous drivers. A viable option for commuters to feel safe and comfortable while travelling, Meru is consistently distinguishing itself as a provider of superior quality transport, expanding its footprint across India.
