Some of the other key training aspects included road safety; emergency and crisis management;  conflict management — especially road rage; female passenger safety in people logistics; vehicle maintenance and sustainability; statutory compliances and first aid during incidents/accidents amongst others. The program also included training drivers on behavioural and softer aspects such as developing inter-personal skills, managing stress, coordinating with different teams.
