Travel App Info : LA Taxis work with Autocab to create mobile phone app - Business News

BOOKING and tracking a cab is being made
easier at a Newcastle firm which has launched
its own mobile phone app.
LA Taxis worked with Autocab to create the
app, which can be used on iPhones, iPads,
Blackberrys and Android smart phones to order
and check on a taxi's progress.
LA Taxis’ business development manager
Steve McGuinness said: “There are other
taxi-related apps out there to help you find a
local taxi, but none which actually allow you to
book a journey from a specific company. A few
taps on your smartphone is all it takes to tell
our sophisticated e-booker system where you
are, where you want to go and at what time.
It’s a great way to avoid busy phone lines
and long taxi queues.”

The app contains millions of identity points in
its system, including street names, buildings
and places of interest, to allow people to book
a taxi even if they do not know their exact
location.

McGuinness believes the technology will be
especially useful in places such as theatres,
cinemas or hospitals, as well as for people
with hearing or speech difficulties.
