Safety Guidance for Cab & Ride-Sharing To Minimise COVID-19 Exposure

The COVID-19 outbreak has proven to become one of the deadliest pandemics of this century. Since December till present, it has literally brought the world to its knees, AFFECTING MILLIONS & KILLING THOUSANDS.

In waging a battle for our survival, social distancing has been initiated all around the world, and most businesses have also gotten severely affected due to this lockdown implementation.

In such a crisis situation, it can be difficult to imagine how cab service providers survive. Over 90% of work being vanished; sedan and wagon providers are really facing the sting of this Black Swan event. But, for cab drivers whose livelihoods are dependent on their daily earnings, they cannot afford to go on complete lockdown for too long.

With high-end urgent services such as Airport transfers or corporate event transfers put on halt, only essential travelling mediums are seen operating (that too not in its usual volume) during this lockdown phase.

Casey Wheelchair Maxi Taxis- your always trusted cab service provider in Lynbrook also adheres to this policy.
We provide Wheelchair Cab and Maxi Taxi cab hire throughout this region and also bravely cover the Hampton Park and Cranbourne location to help you get to necessary services like supermarkets, pharmacy, health providers, safely and quickly.

However, To Manage Infection Risks, We have Crafted Some Safety Guidance for Cab & Ride Sharing

Physical Distancing: –

  • We recommend passengers to be 1.5m physically apart whenever taking our Maxi-taxis or wheelchair cabs.
  • We advise you to sit at the back seat of our cab
  • Get inside the car wearing a mask and disposable gloves if you have cold or cough
  • Avoid using currency notes or use of plastic cards
  • Avoid physical contact with the driver (and we will advise them to do the same)

Environmental Cleaning & Disinfecting:-

With the amount of time the COVID-19 Virus surviving on surfaces being different, we take cues from WHO and adopt environment cleaning and disinfecting to remove virus particles.

No matter how careful one is, we understand that passenger transporting will invariably entail touching of surfaces and items- be it you or our drivers. But, we have taken strict rules to frequently clean and disinfect of our cars.

  • Our drivers will have alcohol-based sanitisers be it for their own use and for you after opening/closing doors, moving bags and luggage or touching window controls and even seat belts.
  • We will make it a point to include closed bins wherever appropriate for you to hygienically dispose of waste such as tissues or disposable gloves having droplets from sneezing, coughing or even puking. And once they are gotten rid of, our drivers will provide you with alcohol-based sanitisers to disinfect your hands.
  • Each of our drivers will wear protective gears to safeguard themselves. And for the sake of the next passenger, each surface (especially high contact points such as door handles seats, seat belts, window controls, window glass, internal handles and even boot lids) will be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol wipes.

“These will be the standard cleaning practices which we will perform after every ride (and end of each shift), not just for your safety, but for our brave and considerate drivers.

P.S- Our Drivers Are Given Authority to Cease the Service If They Come Across Passengers

  • – Feeling sick or exhibiting delayed signs of COVID-19 Virus
  • – If they’ve been tested for the virus & awaiting results
  • – If they’ve suggested by health authorities to quarantine themselves
