Ensure that taxis are safe at all times


HAILING a cab is a reality of city life. In all the big cities of the world, even those with excellent mass transport systems like Singapore, London, New York or Tokyo, the cab is an essential and iconic facility not only for the local population but also for visitors near and far.

The tragic incident involving the 25-year-old American tou­rist who was robbed and raped by two men after being taken on a 80km terror ride in a taxi is not only despicable, but has tarnished our image as a safe tourist destination.
