• In some places, an app like Uber is providing free service to health care workers and other frontlines workers.
• Uber and Ola have suspended the pool rides and have limited the number of passengers per vehicle to curb the spread.
• They are currently operating only in certain safe areas or localities so that they can prevent customers from getting infected.
• Before a driver goes online, they will be asked to confirm, via a new Go Online Checklist, that they’ve taken safety measures and are wearing a mask or face cover.
• The new technology will verify if the driver is wearing a mask by taking a selfie. After the verification process is complete, the driver is notified through an In-app notification.
• These taxi-hailing apps are not allowing drivers who are not taking the necessary measures to go online.
• On the other hand, drivers can cancel the rides of the passengers who are not wearing masks without paying any fees. Also, the passenger can cancel if they find the drivers not wearing a mask.
• Uber’s two-way feedback system has long helped ensure both riders and drivers uphold certain standards by requiring feedback on issues like vehicle quality, navigation, and speeding. Now, they are adding new options for feedback, including having no face cover or mask. These are the features to be included in the Grab clone app development

These are the requests a taxi-hailing app has for its customers.

• Wash your hands before and after you ride.
• Cover your mouth and nose. If you sneeze or cough, do so into your elbow or a tissue.
• Sit in the back. Give your driver space by sitting in the back seat.
• Open the window. If possible, roll down the window to improve ventilation.
