Cool Cabs go telecom

The system will have a central control which will be linked to six other control rooms spread all over the city. A passenger can just make a phone call on a given number and the cab will be at his doorstep in a few minutes, Quadros added. If a passenger waiting for an AC cab at Haji Ali wishes to travel anywhere in the city, he could call up the common control telephone number. The persons monitoring the control will inform the taxi driver nearest to Haji Ali, and the passenger can have the taxi to himself in minutes. The taxi’s movement will also be monitored in this way, which will help reduce instances of theft and other anti-social activities.
