"There is no hurdle to obtain licences (to operate radio taxis). Anyone who fulfils the conditions can get it without difficulty. In fact, we are encouraging people to travel in DTC buses and radio cabs instead of using personal vehicles," transport minister Arvinder Singh Lovely told reporters.

Earlier, chief minister Sheila Dikshit flagged off a new radio taxi service 'YO Cabs'.

"We are launching our operations with a fleet of 100 cars.
