Selfless Sikh taxi drivers have been offering free rides to Muslims and anyone else in need after the Christchurch mosque attack. 

Blue Star Taxi driver Manjinder Singh is one of many who have helped transport people around the city, following the chaos that cost 50 lives and injured dozens. 

With taxi drivers in high demand, Sikhs like Mr Singh have put aside their differences with Muslims - who have had a long history of conflict in their homelands.  

'We decided we will offer them free rides. Whoever is in stress. Whoever needs,' Mr Singh told TVNZ.

When TVNZ asked Mr Singh if he saw the act as an obligation, the humble taxi driver simply replied: 'I would say, it's a privilege because I never felt it was an obligation.' 

'It was just a human and natural reaction.'
