TAXIAPP 2016 ©
At Taxiapp, our aim is to emulate, not replace the 'street hail'. A claim that could be placed at the feet anyone of the taxi hail apps. The team at taxiapp is made up of working cab drivers who understand the significance of promoting the street hail as the free and liberating way to access public transport. There is no- and never will be- outside investment, Other so called taxi hailing apps are not incentivised to promote the street hail as it competes directly with their market product. By that, I mean fewer people hailing off the street means more of our money goes in to investors pockets.
Taxiapp's is different. Our intention is to integrate the tried and tested traditional formula of hailing a taxi with a contemporary flair. Plying for Hire defines what we do as taxi drivers and its concept is the exclusive preserve of our working model. Ply for Hire could be considered as a concept with intrinsic links to three other formulas:These are:
PLY 4 HIRE (availability)
Street hail (moving rank)
Taxi Ranks (ply 4 Hire whilst standing)
For Hire illuminated sign (indicates availability)
Taxiapp works to compliment the trusted and reliable steadfast arm aloft performing the free and liberating act of 'hailing a taxi'. In fact, we adopt the newly referenced term 'virtual hail'. The intention behind this is to replicate the street hail to request available taxis that might be obscured by the built environment.
It could be the case that personal circumstances prevent potential customers from accessing available taxis on foot, in that case, taxiapp will indicate where taxis are available for hire in the area. It will also approximate the time it will take to reach the customer.

What Is “Quality” In A Connected World? There are those who strive to have the most followers so they get a “high rating” on numerous indicative sites that measure “followers, connections, traffic” and other related metrics. Today’s metric do not measure the “value attributes” of a person’s ability to help others find solutions rather they measure activity in a “connected world”
Many people jump into the “social space” and get consumed with learning, testing and using the technology. The technology is only 20% of the value proposition while 80% of value lies with the relational aspect that a human being creates from and through those they connect with.
Relational Value is “people whose knowledge, experience and relationships” can bring or produce value for others. As a cab driver, the opportunity to either make or break someone's day is relatively easy.
The impact we can have on people's lives is immense.
In the new gig economy we not only must learn to effectively use the proliferation of technology but align its use with the relational aspect that both we and our passengers place enormous value on. And not only with our passengers. Certainly, out of bad some good can come. It's likely (if you're reading this) that you're far more connected with others in the trade now than you’ve ever been. For my part, people that I didn't even know existed twelve months ago are now- I can unequivocally say- very close to my heart.
The same goes with taxiapp. Merely “connecting to those” whose knowledge and experience has afforded me the opportunity to be involved in something I believe will be a truly great addition to our great profession. (shhh..they haven't yet discovered I'm a real Luddite who knows nothing about technology). I’m sure also that this app will have dissenters, but again, if you’ve managed to read this far, you’ll agree, that no one should let the lowest common denominator distract from our purpose and our individual productivity. And that happens to be, a driver owned, Corp free, not for profit, work focused app- exclusively for London’s world famous taxi drivers.
The irony of improving the process is that we must first learn how to share our knowledge, experiences and relationships with those who are seeking objectives in which we can help achieve. Brands beware. Finding quality relations starts by being a quality relation first. I hope I will pass that test at least.

Many people say the bottom line of being “connected” is who will, or who can help you achieve an objective. After-all being connected to ‘crowds of people’ statistically improves our potential of finding the right answer to whatever objective your trying to achieve. However it isn’t a game of quantity rather it is a game of quality.
The Knowledge
London Taxi Drivers have to train for about 3 years learning thousands of streets and places of interest.
The Knowledge is important for customers as it assures them of the most direct and cost effective route on any journey, saving you time & money.Minicab drivers, who are less likely to know where they are going, normally charge by the mile, so the longer they take (if they get lost)the more it could cost you.
Book a taxi
London Taxis are easy to hail from the street, but you can also make bookings for taxis online or over the phone via the app. You can make advance bookings for special trips or simply ask for a taxi as soon as possible.
