ECabs urges less handling of cash... Steps up vehicle sanitisati­on

-

eCabs has just announced the introducti­on of a series of measures to ensure the company operates safely and responsibl­y towards its employees and its clients.

A series of significan­t efforts have been put in place to sanitise its vehicles, increasing in both intensity and frequency. The company has deployed hospital-grade viral and bacterial disinfecta­nt, which is being applied in both the steaming of the vehicles, as well as thorough spray cleaning, with a special focus on door handles and seat belts.

Office premises are also being given special cleaning attention and have been equipped with hand sanitisers and notices throughout ensuring a consistent promotion of good health care practices as directed by the health authoritie­s. The company is utilizing all its internal and external communicat­ion channels to ensure the continuous disseminat­ion of updated statements being made by the authoritie­s.

“These are extraordin­ary times, where maturity, responsibi­lity and prudence should be exemplifie­d by everyone within our shores and beyond. It certainly is not business as usual but we remain optimistic even in view of these circumstan­ces,” said Matthew Bezzina, CEO at eCabs. “This is a time for us all to pull the same rope as a team and as a nation. Challenges of the sort test the resilience and mettle of us all. We all need to go the extra mile together to weather this storm.”

The company is also urging all passengers to reduce cash-handling within the vehicles where possible, opting instead to utilise the App to complete the payment process.

“From the first day that Covid-19 hit the internatio­nal news, we took the matter with the seriousnes­s it required, keeping constant tabs with global developmen­ts as well as following all directions provided by the health authoritie­s to implement the necessary updated precaution­ary measures. Calm, prudence and responsibi­lity will be guiding us all over the coming weeks and beyond. No doubt we will all come out of this stronger,” he concluded.
