UK cities hosting cricket matches during the World Cup have jampacked public transport systems. It is therefore refreshing to know that there is someone out there who is not only providing safe and comfortable taxi rides to cricket fans but also at no cost at all.
As the enthusiasm for the Cricket World Cup peaks across the globe, a Pakistani taxi driver, Mr. Zahid Hussain, is playing his part in Nottingham to keep the spirit of cricket alive. According to him, he aims to provide free rides to cricket fans heading to the stadium. He has two cars which are being driven by him and his nephew. His free-ride initiative is catered towards supporting the Pakistani team in the World Cup.
Mr. Hussain drives a red hatchback with a Pakistani flag strapped to the back of the car to signify his support for Pakistan in the World Cup. His efforts also depict the hospitality and welcoming nature of Pakistanis living abroad in the UK. This surely gives a strong positive message to everyone living in the UK.
According to Mr. Hussain, Pakistan and India must face each other more often to dissolve political tensions. He not only gives free rides to Pakistan cricket team fans but also to Indian cricket team fans and reminds them of the healthy competition that has existed in the past. He wants the same competition and the elevated spirit of cricket to continue forever.
Another aspect of this cool free taxi ride service is how the automotive industry can be used to promote cricket. Car enthusiasts can team up in cities where World Cup matches are held and provided free rides to people heading to the stadiums. This also provides a chance for the locals to meet with people coming from different cultures across the globe. The interaction during the ride is also priceless and underscores how welcoming the local public is to the outsiders.
