Buoyed by the success of preparing the first 200 good-old kaali peeli taxis at Wadala for COVID-19, 500 more cabs have been lined up from Andheri RTO in the next phase. A COVID-19-ready cab includes sanitisation, isolation screens and trained drivers.

The project has been undertaken by the RTO and Mumbai Taximen’s Union with the United Way Mumbai, a community improvement NGO in the city.
