Who We Are

About Us

 

PickTaxi is an automated location-based taxi booking service that can be access from smartphones or web. PickTaxi will use several algorithms to optimize the matching between the rider and the taxi.

 

Vision

The right ride, with less uncertainty. We want city travel to be easier to arrange and taxi services easier to coordinate, for passengers, drivers and the teams managing a fleet.

Mission

PickTaxi brings trip needs, location and rider–driver communication into one booking approach. We design matching and fleet workflows around practical city transport needs, with availability and operating requirements determined locally.

Benefits

 

  1. Help users get a ride instantly and easily.
  2. Users can navigate the map, shout for a request (after optionally filling in their destinations, type of vehicle...etc) and drivers can respond to these requests.
  3. Both driver and rider can rate each other after the ride. This rating mechanism coupled with social element will make the transport industry transparent for both driver and rider alike.
  4. Users can also add some drivers to their preferred list and communicate with them directly.
  5. There’s also an element of shared riding in the application if both riders happen to share the same path.

 

Relax! PickTaxi will help driver and rider to make life simpler, discover common rides and share them making the experience environment friendly, affordable and more fun.
