We are committed to implementing effective measures and providing valuable resources to support our riders and improve their overall experience."

Restaurants are being urged to offer water and rest areas for riders, while customers are encouraged to provide water to riders upon delivery.

Refillable water bottles are distributed to riders to ensure they stay hydrated by refilling their bottles throughout the day.
