SHE WITH TAXY (My interview as a part of reporting)




Trivandrum: The hand that rocks the cradle is ready to hold the break and axillator. “She Taxy”, a new initiative undertaken by the Govt. Of kerala is gaining momentum in the capital city of Kerala. The programme that launched on 19th November 2013 ensures cent percent surety to the women passengers. “She Taxy” began with five taxis has risen to ten within a short span of one month.
“She Taxy” offers 24*7 services to all women travellers. They aim at providing safety to the women. As we are living in a world surrounded by sexual harassment, rape and suicide, women must get a chance to travel with peace of mind. The Govt. Of Kerala is planning to extend “She Taxy” facility to Calicut district soon.  The drivers hailing from different parts of Kerala are selected through a long process and they are appointed on the basis of their experiences in the field of driving. Rasiya, a driver of the She Taxy says that they are getting maximum trips daily and they are very much delighted to enter into the arena of social service through this venture. The main office is located at Kawadiar and they have a call centre as well. The passengers have to do booking earlier so as to offer taxis for them. “We are taking fewer amounts from the travellers comparing to other taxi wallas” says Annie, a driver of She Taxy.
“She Taxy” provides services mainly at the towns of Trivandrum city. As a part of ensuring security to the passengers and avoid dangers, there are risk alarms .There are special alarms for the drivers and passengers. People all over Kerala are looking ahead to see the land filled with more  “she Taxies”
