Waiting outside to flag a taxi in the warmer summer months can leave anyone a little hot and bothered. Now, thanks to RAKTA, you can say goodbye to roadside flag-downs and frantically scanning the horizon for that illuminated ‘taxi’ sign. Instead, scan a QR code with your phone, and within moments a taxi will pull up, ready to whisk you away. You can also pre-book your RAKTA taxi via the Careem app and your ride will be with you within minutes.
