With the resumption of domestic flights, passengers at the Delhi Airport are facing difficulty in finding taxis as drivers have moved back to their home states in the wake of nationwide lockdown imposed as a precautionary measure to contain the spread of COVID-19.
“A lot of drivers have gone back to their home states because of which there is a shortage of taxis. However, we are managing. There are less passengers also. If the number of flights will increase, then the number of passengers will also increase. This may create a problem,” said Bholanath Jha, a prepaid taxi booth employee at IGI Airport.
MC Joshi, a resident of Indirapuram, Ghaziabad, who came to the airport to pick his son, said that he couldn’t find a taxi on online apps also.
