PANIC SWITCH (SOS Button)
A panic switch is a safety device designed to immediately alert security personnel or trigger an alarm in emergency situations.
A panic button in a public transport is a safety feature that allows the driver or passenger to instantly alert authorities or the taxi company in case of emergencies, such as accidents, robberies, or medical issues. When pressed, it can send real-time location, trigger alarms, and notify emergency responders, enabling a quick response to ensure the safety of everyone in the vehicle. Many modern taxi services integrate panic buttons with GPS tracking and mobile apps, enhancing security and providing peace of mind during rides.
