I like to ride in a taxi. Living in the city, I prefer someone else to think about traffic jams, maintenance, rubber, refueling and much more. I like to sit, do nothing and at this moment move in a given direction. But there is a problem with a taxi in a big city – it's how to call it. Most often, calling a taxi is calling several numbers in a notebook. With the transition of taxi services to SMS-informing, you cannot immediately call several services, as several cars may be recorded for you, which you will find out about in 10 minutes after receiving several SMS.
Why should we call when we have a very convenient phone in our pocket, which always knows where I am, which has Internet access and can show on the screen in a second what the dispatcher will tell minutes? Residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg can already call a taxi in a special very beautiful interactive inTaxi system.
inTaxi is a service for ordering a taxi without a dispatcher using a mobile application. You just place your order with a couple of clicks and get a choice – which service to use and what time of submission is more convenient for you. When ordering, the system will determine your placement address or offer to choose it. Airports and train stations are set with presets, and each street has a list of house numbers for more precise targeting. The endpoint is also easy to select.
In addition to specifying point A and point B, you can configure the parameters of the machine being called: class, you can smoke in it or not, the driver smokes or not, the presence of a child seat. Agree to choose in the phone is much nicer than explaining to the operator.
After ordering, you will be shown the make, color and number of the car, and also, you will receive your driver's mobile phone number. And only the one shown on the screen will arrive – no more unpleasant surprises. Convenient!
The inTaxi app is free and available for download in the App Store. The Android version is expected.
