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 for an 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," said Rajesh Puri, CEO, Meru Cabs.
