Cardiff cabbie, Jas Singh, has been taxiing since 2007 and works for the city’s first wheelchair accessible taxi company, Capital Cars.
When Jas first started in the trade, after much research, he decided the Peugeot E7™ from Cab Direct was the best vehicle for the job. He says: “I wanted to be able to take full advantage of the customer base on offer by providing quick and easy wheelchair access to the people of Cardiff.”
Jas is now on his fourth vehicle from Cab Direct, his latest bought back in 2013. At that time he opted for the Peugeot Eurobus™ – here he talks us through the benefits of his latest purchase and why Cab Direct is his supplier of choice.
Best of Both Worlds
For Jas, it was important to have a vehicle that would benefit both himself and his passengers alike.
He said: “Basically, I wanted the best of both worlds; I was looking for a taxi that would allow me to have a full people carrier one minute and a wheelchair accessible cab the next whilst providing the best possible service.
“When I was researching through all my options, I came across the Eurobus – it seemed like the perfect fit for the bill.
“No partition screen means there’s no restrictions on what luggage I can carry as longer items can stretch the length of the vehicle and lean on the dashboard – I’ve carried plenty of surfboards in my time believe it or not.
“It also means that everyone in the taxi benefits from things like the air conditioning and music.”
Driveability
With Peugeot’s efficient diesel technology at work under the bonnet, Eurobus™ promises superb handing and great economy. Returning up to 42.8 miles per gallon on the combined cycle, with Peugeot’s 2.0 litre diesel engine, you’ll be better off at the end of your shift. Eurobus’ modern aerodynamic shape also improves fuel consumption through reduced wind resistance.
Jas opted for automatic transmission and is delighted by the output of the vehicle. He commented: “The six gear automatic gearbox provides a great driving experience. The Eurobus has the torque, power and pull of an MPV but the smooth drive of a saloon car.”
Happy Customers
Jas’ customers are equally delighted with his taxi of choice, with many of them returning to him time and time again.
He said: “I get a lot of repeat business. My customers enjoy how comfortable the taxi is and the fact that they can all sit forward facing – on longer journeys this is a big plus!”
Service First
Talking about the service received from Cab Direct, Jas commented: “I recommend Cab Direct to all of my taxi friends. I’ve always had a good experience and find the delivery process really smooth too. I’ve already given our local sales representative, Chris, three or four referrals.
“I recommend Cab Direct to all of my taxi friends. I’ve always had a good experience and find the delivery process really smooth too.”
“I often get asked about the taxi by wheelchair users and I’m always happy to recommend sister company Allied Mobility to them. I believe the equivalent model, the Peugeot Independence, comes with a variety of seating options and layouts.”
