Are you wary of taking the cab alone, particularly at nights? Here are some tips to keep in mind when riding in a cab alone.
Make sure to share your live location with your family or loved ones; this can help them track wherever the cab leads. Also, share the driver’s details - phone number, car number, name, etc.
Call your concerned ones as soon as you get in a cab. Inform them about your pick-up and drop location and other such details.
Always take the seat behind the driver. That is the least accessible for them if they try to attack.
Ensure using those cab service apps where your phone number is anonymised. This can help you maintain privacy.
Only accept the ride if the driver has been rated 5 stars by multiple passengers.
Many apps provide an emergency button. Root for those during times of inconvenience.
