Mytaxi has arrived in Lisbon, the first application that allows you to order and pay for a taxi using your smartphone.
Through a simple query in the application, the customer has a direct connection with the driver and information such as the estimated waiting time, travel costs, and directly follow the route and arrival of the taxi. Simple isn't it? With mytaxi, there is also the possibility of requesting a taxi with special conditions, such as larger vehicles, hybrids or vehicles that allow the transport of animals.RELATED: Forget electrical outlets, for Nissan the future is wireless
The mytaxi application is available on iOS, Android, Windows Phone and Blackberry operating systems and informs the customer of the taxi driver's profile, as well as the ratings given by other customers, and license number. As for payment, it can be made from the mytaxi application, in cash, Paypal or through the driver's ATM terminal.
Vera Falcão, mytaxi City Manager, said:
“The quality of our service is what sets us apart from other companies and is what our customers value above all: clean taxis and polite treatment from the drivers. Smartphones can have a huge impact on urban mobility. At mytaxi, we want to rethink and reformulate the way taxi journeys are made. Passengers and drivers want solutions that are convenient, transparent and tailored to their needs. We want to respond to these yearnings.”
mytaxi is offering 50% discount on the value of trips until the end of the year and will have Uber as its main competitor, which recently generated a lot of controversy among national taxi drivers. Will we still miss the desperate waving of the arm and praying for a taxi driver to see us… Ohh Taxi!
