PICKnGo has introduced what it dubs as a comprehensive vehicle sanitising package that promises a high-level of sanitisation while still keeping fares affordable.
The ride-hailing company added that MUDAcare's trained applicators will spray selected taxis with their coating - a nanoscale titanium dioxide-based (N-TiO2) solution.
The solution is applied on various surfaces in the vehicle with an electrostatic sprayer and is said to be able to "kill" viruses, bacteria and mould - yet is non-toxic and can last on surfaces up to six months.
In addition, the solution is said to have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US and is also CE-certified in that it meets EU standards for health, safety and environmental protection as well.
To encourage taxi drivers to maintain their disinfection regime with MUDAcare, PICKnGO will be partially subsidising the sanitisation cost and have already sanitised 100 taxis with more to come.
“Taxi drivers might not be able to sanitise their vehicles after every ride. Hence, we are encouraging our drivers to use N-TiO2 - based sterilising solution to keep their taxis protected for longer periods," said PICKnGO executive director Valerie Chan.
She added that taxis which have been sanitised with the solution will receive a sticker with a validation period to provide customers peace of mind.
