Get-a-Taxi App
With the free Get-a-Taxi app for iPhone and Android people can order a taxi without calling a number. They can see every available taxi on a real-time city map and watch it driving to their destination. Every cab driver has a individual profile, so people can choose exactly the cab driver they want and give feedback afterwards.
Clients can also pay using their credit cards, so there´s no need for cash anymore.
Why it matters
Businesses reaching customers via mobile have their finger on the digital pulse. This app makes it more convenient for the customer to get a cab and pay, so the whole taxi experience becomes more interactive and social. Can other service industries look at giving consumers more transparency?
