UP Mandates Driver Info Display on Public Transport Vehicles
The government in Uttar Pradesh is making it safer to ride in public transport like autos and taxis.
They are making all drivers put their names, ID numbers, and phone numbers on their vehicles.
This is to help people feel safer, especially women.
Passengers can easily share this information with their families.
The government is giving drivers 15 days to do this, starting with the city of Lucknow.
The State Women’s Commission suggested this idea to make travel safer for everyone.
Uttar Pradesh mandates public transport vehicles to display driver information.
The directive includes e-rickshaws, autos, taxis, and app-based services.
Drivers must display their name, Aadhaar number, and mobile number.
The Transport Department has given a 15-day deadline for compliance.
