Meru Cabs, India's largest radio cab service provider has introduced alternative payment facility for their passengers in Hyderabad city.

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, thereby, making life easier for the Meru passengers.

Also, Meru Cabs will introduce various promotion programs to promote payment by cards. Keeping in mind the concept of plastic money, Meru Cabs has launched this feature so as to provide hassle free service to the passengers, Rajesh Puri, CEO Meru Cabs.

"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 for 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", Puri said.

"Cities like New York, Boston and Tokyo have the facility of paying by cash or card in the radio cabs. In fact, 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 truly comfortable and world-class travel experience he said.
