What advice shall be an offer to our company colleagues/travelers when they are using the Cab / Employee Transport Service?
- While boarding/de-boarding the vehicle, it is recommended that the guest should let the chauffeur only open and close the door of the vehicle. In case the guest has luggage, let the chauffeur open and close the boot for the guest so that they can keep/take out the luggage themself (to avoid any contact with the guest’s belongings).
- Guest should carry their own Mask, Hand sanitizer, and water bottle for the journey.
- Once the guest is seated in the vehicle, they should avoid unnecessary movement inside the vehicle and should also avoid touching any buttons, AC vents, etc.
- In case the guest is traveling in an SUV or a Tempo Traveler or a Bus with other co-passengers, they should sit in a Zig-Zag formation, like in the image given below.
While boarding/de-boarding from the vehicle, they should maintain social distance.
While signing off the duty slip, the guest should use their own pen.
In case the duty is being closed on the Driver’s App, guests can use ECO’s OTP facility so that they don’t need to sign on the driver app (mobile screen) with their finger or using chauffeur’s stylus.

What is it that ECO is doing at their end to mitigate the risk of Covid’19:
ECO has created a detailed SOP to guard against Covid’19.
Some of the key points are:
- After every ride, chauffeur to clean and disinfect the vehicle using the disinfectant. The commonly touched parts such as armrests, seat belts, and buckles, door handles, cup holders, and window buttons should be properly disinfected immediately after the ride, using an alcohol-based high-grade disinfectant.
- Regular training to our chauffeurs to ensure there is no physical contact with a passenger or their bags (only greet the passengers with a smile and a ‘Namaste’).
- Briefing our chauffeurs to ensure that doors of the vehicle should always be opened/closed by chauffeur only (not passenger) and the passenger should not touch any areas of the vehicle interior or exterior with his own hands. Once the passengers are seated comfortably, they should not move around too much or and minimize their movements inside the vehicle.
- Keep AC off, all windows should be open to ensure proper air ventilation.
- The chauffeur should wear a mask and gloves at all times and maintain social distance.
- Hand sanitizer to be kept in all vehicles.
- Remove items like Newspapers, Water bottles to mitigate the risk of any germs.
- As part of our training, request guests to use OTP for sign-off on Driver App. In case of a paper duty slip, request the guest to use their own pen to sign.
- Passengers and chauffeurs should have minimum verbal communication during the journey to avoid any airborne bacteria.
- Use of Arogya Setu App so that they can be alerted if they are near an infected person.
