Many patients, especially the elderly or those with health challenges find the driver to also act as a companion who can help, offering reassurance and sometimes even communication with healthcare providers if necessary.
Medicab providers often specialize in transporting passengers with specific needs, such as elderly people, people with disabilities, or those who require medical assistance during the ride.
The vehicles may be equipped with specialized equipment like wheelchairs, oxygen tanks or even stretcher systems and drivers may be trained in providing basic medical support.
