Meru Cabs launches Card payment facility in Hyderabad
Meru Cabs has introduced their alternative Card payment facility for passengers in Hyderabad. This alternate payment option is already implemented in Bengaluru. For the same, Meru Cabs has tied up with Axis Bank as its merchant bank to facilitate card transactions in its cabs. Visa and Master Cards debit/credit cards will be accepted for fare payment. Keeping in mind the concept of plastic money, Meru Cabs has launched this feature so as to provide a hassle free service to the passengers.
Rajesh Puri, CEO, Meru Cabs said, “Plastic money is more convenient and viable payment option today. We got a feedback from our consumers regarding their preference for payment through a credit card. 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 hassle-free. It is a highly secured application, since the product is almost fully automated. It’s inbuilt in the Mobile Data Terminal (MDT), and the card is swiped in front of the passenger.”
Puri added that cities like New York, Boston and Tokyo have the facility of paying by cash or card in the radio cabs. 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 comfortable and world-class travel experience,” stated Puri.
