The trial will see the taxis fitted with a plastic cover called V-shield which aims to minimise contact between cabbies and their passengers. About 50 taxis will be installed every week from now, according to the news release. V-shields are locally-manufactured and trademarked by Moove Media, a subsidiary of ComfortDelGro Corporation. Measuring 1m x 0.7m x 0.6m, the V-shield covers the driver’s cabin entirely and is made of "unbreakable" plastic material to protect the drivers from any violent physical harm, the news release added. It also comes with two openings to facilitate payments on board. The shield encases only the driver’s cabin area and does not obstruct airflow in the rest of the taxi. If the trial proves to be successful, more taxis will have V-shield installed. Previously A PHV driver did the same ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
