Speaking on the launch of MeruFlexi in her hometown, actress Riya Sen said, “When I first saw Meru Cabs that revolutionized the cab services in India, 7 years back in Mumbai, I got convinced that we were finally going to have radio taxis just like in New York, London and Singapore. And indeed I must say that Meru’s services have truly been a blessing and made commuting so much more comfortable and safe. I am delighted that Meru has a distinct safety feature, the ICE Alert - In Case of Emergency. This option can be used for customers not only in a Meru Cab but at any given time in any given situation.”

She said, “ Meru Cabs has included this as a value added service, thus allowing users to ability to contact family and friends in case of an emergency and I feel this is a boon especially for women and their safety at all times.”
