Until recently, the way to stop one taxi it was with the familiar hand motion. Now the choice is made before the vehicle is even seen approaching. And it's up to him again, but in a very different way.
This is Taxibeat, the innovative Greek application for mobiles and computers, which has conquered the whole world. Using it, the passenger can choose which taxi driver to call to take him to his destination by choosing base the highest score, the vehicle, how close it is to where he is, but also depending on the extras services which offers.
Having conquered Greece, this application has begun to become particularly popular around the world. After Bucharest, Paris, Oslo, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Mexico City, Taxibeat will serve passengers in Constantinople and Lima in the coming months.
Indeed, as demonstrated in practice, the application forces taxi drivers to upgrade their services. "The ability of a user to score the driver obliges the user to try harder. There are guides that offer bottled water, others who have magazines to browse the customer along the way and others who offer free wi-fi, "says Spiros Dova, director of business development at the" Ethnos ".
The inspiration behind the idea was Nikos Drandakis, who three years ago created the company together with his partners, when he found himself in a remote region where he could not locate a taxi.
