If you wait for public transport for traveling from one place to another, it is awful for anyone reaching their destination on time. All the more Corona virus pandemic has made traveling by public transport unsafe on account of lack of social distancing. Since public transport is halted people are using taxi services in and around the city as the safest option. In many cities, taxis are the favourite mode of transportation, which provides a better option to reach your destination safely. This gap in public transport gives you numerous reasons to travel in the taxi. So here is a write up which helps you make prudent decisions when it comes to choosing the comfort of traveling.
Why choose taxi service in the place of public transport?
Ease of travel
You can book a taxi on the smartphone and get it right on your doorstep. What else, you get it without any extra charges? While when you travel by public transport like bus, train and auto you have to first go to the stand, then book a ticket and then travel with so many people heading to the same destination. So now traveling with so many people means traveling unsafe because you never know the person sitting right next to you might be asymptomatic carrying the virus.
Opt for a sanitized taxi where by sanitizing even the touchpoints each time the bus or auto ply’s is not possible
Curate your journey as you wish
When you travel via a taxi service you can start, stop, and take as many stopovers as you like which is just impossible in the case of public transport. Drivers know all the routes and they would constantly receive traffic alerts from their dispatchers, which allows cabbies to choose the best routes to reach the destination. So you travel faster and hassle-free.
Public transport will take the route that serves the maximum number of passengers so your travel will take more than required time many a time.
Choose the people you want to travel with
You can choose the people you want to travel with, in case of a taxi service but you can’t choose your co-travellers in case of public transport because of the sheer number of people traveling. To ensure safety you can travel with your immediate family only but can you do this in public transport. Do you want to travel according to others convenience or you want to be the master of your own journey and travel as per your desire? This is the reason why we said that we will help you make prudent decisions when it comes to travel.
You can hire a taxi service at any hour of the day but public transport has a fixed time and you have to match your schedule according to public transport.
Reach of the transport
The policies of many Indian cities encourage the city to sprawl, by limiting the amount one can construct on any given piece of land. By not allowing more people to live closely together, they force citizens to spend more time on the commute and choose private taxi services over public transport, as public transport cannot reach all parts of a city growing outward. When public transport doesn’t serve in your locality how can you avail it? The practical problem for many travelers.
Last and not least the first and foremost requirement is that public transport encompassing multiple modes of transport should be seamless. It should feel like a single journey, even if you have to walk, take a bus, take a metro, take a bus again and walk till your destination, there should not be a break in any leg of the system. But in India, we do not have that seamless sense of public transport as each mode of transport is operated by a different organization and these organizations aren’t interconnected.
