Many environmentally conscious passengers and financiers are today requesting to be shown any evidence on the company’s participation in environmental conservation. Despite donating or actively participating in the carbon dioxide offsetting, the company must also make sure that their fleet of taxis are well serviced to have minimal carbon dioxide emissions. Also the move to green sources of fuel is slowly catching grip on the motor industry where bio diesel, electricity and water are being used as alternative sources of power.
