Cab services driven by women for female passengers were flagged off at the Kempegowda International Airport here on Monday.
"The women drivers will be fluent in multiple languages, well versed with local areas and trained in self-defence tactics to strengthen the safety and security of women passengers," the airport said in a statement.
The tech hub's airport is located in Devanahalli, about 40 km from the city centre.
The women-run taxi service was started by the Karnataka State Tourism Development Corp (KSTDC) and the airport operating authority Bangalore International Airport Ltd (BIAL).
The cabs will be equipped with safety features, such as GPRS tracking and an SOS switch in case of any emergency.
"The initiative, which has been started on an experimental basis, will commence with 10 cars and gradually increase based on demand and passenger feedback," the statement said.
Solo female travellers or group of women can avail the cab services.
The pink cab service will be functional 24 hours and priced at Rs 21.50 per km during the day and Rs 23.50 per km at night.
