In letters to Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot, more than 1,500 taxi drivers offered advice on the Motor Vehicle Aggregator Scheme 2023. Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister, authorised the programme last month.
The strategy to regulate cab aggregators and delivery service providers in the national capital’s features include the need for panic buttons in cabs, integration with emergency response number “112,” and a phased shift to electric vehicles (EV).
The drivers mentioned the higher price of electric cars compared to conventional vehicles in their petition. In order to ease the move, they have also asked simple credit choices. They have recommended that a plan be put in place to balance the expenses of the change.
The drivers have also asked the minister to put in place certain arrangements so that the cars already have panic buttons fitted and that any further expenses associated with installing them should not fall on the drivers.
