Taxi aggregators

The taxi aggregators appear to be organised cheats and do not seem to care the administration and violate the safety needs. Some of them relate to 1) valuables are not safe in the vehicles. By Chance, an item is left out , this is gone for ever. There is no alert system and drivers play honey traps to snatch the valuables. The loss of Phones in the cabs is very common and even if it is immediately brought to drivers' or the Service providers' notice, both refuse to recover and hand over the same to the rightful owners. Even contacting them is often rendered difficult. The way they respond gives an impression that they have a negative credibility on the policing system. They say give a complaint to police just like that. 2) Sharing a taxi with unknown fellows and totally strangers pose a safety threat to passengers particularly old people and ladies. 3) Some of the cab drivers collect toll Charges both ways when they are engaged to go to air port in bangalore where one needs to pay toll charges when coming to City from airport.. There is no way of reporting grievances to any one and even if it is reported nothing happens. 4) They have no standard rates. They fix their own peak hours and charge three to four times of the normal rates. Early morning and evening hours they cannot be relied upon. They have drivers who seem to be goons and their details are not displayed in cabs. Their antecedents do not appear to have been verified by the taxi aggregators. When something is lost both drivers and the taxi aggregators wash off their hands.
