In an effort to secure cab passengers in Delhi NCR, MapmyIndia Locate app has been launched by MapmyIndia. This app will be given to all passengers using Snap Cab, an economy cab service based out of NOIDA. With this the Snap Cab customers can instantly share their location with the near and dear ones once they enter the cab. And as the journey proceeds, the passengers can be live tracked by the contacts of their choice. Snap Cab is India’s first cab service to offer this dual security net to its customers. Their cabs are already GPS enabled.

- Customer books a Snap Cab
