Meru Cabs has announced the launch of alternative payment facility for their passengers in the city.

Already implemented in Bangalore, Meru Cabs has tied up with Axis Bank to facilitate card transactions in its cabs.

Visa and Master cards debit/credit cards will be accepted for fare payment, thereby making life easier for the passengers.

“Consumers today prefer the convenience of plastic money over hard cash and often fall short while paying for their fares, making it inconvenient for them as they have to hunt to the nearest ATM. By providing credit/debit card facilities in our cab directly, we are confident that our passengers will find it more convenient and hasslefree,” said Rajesh Puri, CEO, Meru Cabs.

He added, “Cities like New York, Boston and Tokyo have the facility of paying by cash or card in the radio cabs. In fact, it is a mandate in these cities for the radio cabs to have a card payment option for the passengers. Our goal is to replicate these revolutionary services in India and offer our passengers a truly comfortable & world-class travel experience.”
