'She cabs' a big flop in Hyderabad

[BabuRa0]

HYDERABAD: While 'She cabs' were launched amid much fanfare, it is clear that the initiative has been a big flop with only six such cabs operating in the entire city.

In fact since its inception in November 2015, only 4,623 trips have been made by women cabbies, as per figures from the Cyberabad Traffic police at the pre-paid booth in RGIA.With an average of 20 trips a day by all She cabs put together, six of the operational cabs run just an average of three trips a day, against eight by regular cabs.

The She cab initiative has been plagued by several problems. Among many issues, women drivers who had signed up for new vehicles after getting a hefty subsidy are now finding driving `too taxing'. Besides this, some drivers have been involved in minor accidents, many avoid peak hour traffic or have given up driving, authorities confess. "Initially we had selected 18 applicants of whom 10 started driving She cabs at the time of its launch.

There have been no new applications since," said deputy transport commissioner, Hyderabad, C Ramesh. RTA authorities have sent notices to the 10 selected applicants asking them to return to work.

Meanwhile, the ill-planned initiative is proving costly for women commuters.

"Once you ask for a She cab at the traffic booth, you can be made to wait for anywhere between one to two hours. It happened to me last week.Authorities were not willing to allot a regular cab even after waiting for 40 minutes. It is like if you opt for a She cab, you will have to take a She cab, no matter what!" said Rachna Shah, a commuter.

Insiders say a major reason behind the flop is that the women are not well trained."Many don't know city roads and are scared to go to certain areas in outskirts," said a source.
