Konstantinos Bekio is a cab driver who is doing what he can to lift his passengers' spirits in the midst of a COVID lockdown. He has converted his cab into a nightclub as per a Reuters report.??
"I saw that people were always stressed, sad, everyone was in a bad mood," he said.?
"I started to put on music - to turn up the volume, and I saw people enjoyed it, they were having fun, they were having a good time, even if it was a short route, they would get out happy. That is how we started the private club taxi," he added.?
While Greece has not suffered as much, the nightlife has been hit hard. Bars, restaurants and nightclubs are shut since November with no plans of opening anytime soon.?
While a taxi ride in a disco is not what everyone may want, he wants everyone to enjoy themselves.
"It improves your mood in the first five minutes," said regular customer Ioanna Kargiannidou
"The situation is very difficult and stressful for everyone, our mood is low," she added.
"So this is a good solution to escape our daily routine," she went on to say.
A nice innovation and also a creative way to keep passengers entertained.?
