The government has ordered transport department to introduce cabs with global positioning system to prevent drivers from cheating travellers entering the city via the Shamshabad airport that is scheduled to be operational by March next year.
"The radio cabs with GPS will enable passengers to know where they exactly are," said joint transport commissioner C.L.N. Gandhi.
The drivers will not be able to take passengers on roundabout routes. "We studied the cool cab system in Mumbai," Mr Gandhi said.
The government framed tough guidelines for cab licences in view of the safety of passengers. Each operator has to maintain at least 100 cabs fitted with electronic fare meters.
The driver should be fluent in English apart from local languages.
