“Only one person will be allow to travel in a taxi at a time,” the letter stated, adding that maximum two people will be accommodated in an emergency situation.

“The car will be disinfected after every ride,” it added.

The management expressed that because of the shutdown, drivers and other employees of the service were suffering.
