iPhone-users first-in-line for a taxi order
Need a taxi? Phone calls no longer necessary - www.txxiapp.com
As of today, people can order a taxi anywhere in the Netherlands with your Apple iPhone. With the single push of a button, iPhone-users can simultaneously order a taxi and signal where they want to be picked up.
In larger cities, the "TXXI" app is directly linked up to the information systems of larger taxi companies, making it much faster that a traditional phone call. iPhone-users even get first-in-line treatment over people who do the second, since their order is automatically forwarded to the nearest taxi’s on-board computer.
A World First
The Netherlands is the first country in the world where people can order a taxi through GPS-positioning, directly and without having to make a phone call. Cities like New York and Washington have similar GPS-based services, but these still require people to phone in and place their order or type their location into the screen. Also unique is TXXI's ‘first-in-line for iPhones’ treatment.
Ordering a taxi outside of a major city? TXXI automatically picks from its nationwide partner network of 120 taxi companies, and directly orders a ride from the nearest one. The service is available free of charge to iPhone-users via the iTunes-store.
TXXI’s concept and development comes from the people at NewToast; online agency Mangrove took care of the application’s technical side.
