ABC Taxis Click and Collect Service
With continued uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 lockdown restrictions over the following months, and with current measures and restrictions in place to reduce the spread of coronavirus it means, we again have to stay indoors.
Guidelines state that we should only go outside to shop for essential items and collecting medication. Those who are able to should work from home. For the added convenience, and as a measure of safety, many have made use of online shopping services for their groceries. However, supermarkets and pharmacies are now struggling to keep up with the demand and there is an increasing lack of delivery slots available. This puts our elderly and our vulnerable more at risk, as they have been advised to self-isolate for 12 weeks.
ABC Taxis are doing our part ease lockdown life for those stuck at home with our new click and collect service.

Supporting the Environment
With over 250 vehicles in the ABC taxi fleet and heavily invested in reducing our carbon footprint, we have seen the addition of hybrid vehicles to the fleet increase drastically over the last few years. Most recently we have teamed up with Ecologi a partnership that allows ABC Taxis to provide direct support to environmental initiatives, projects and climate solutions. The impact that ABC Taxis funding has on the environment is quantified by our carbon offset, and this is facilitated through the planting of new forests around the world. More information on the work of Ecologi, the volume of trees planted and even purchase orders for the land where the forests are located can all be found on the Ecologi website.
