Catching a taxi just got a whole lot easier.
Ever had that problem of getting stuck in the rain with no taxi in sight? How about trying to catch a taxi late at night and they all appear to be zooming past you engaged.
Sydney based startup Ingogo has decided to tackle this problem facing passengers and taxi drivers. New innovative web and mobile app that is changing the taxi booking eco system which has been monopolized for years based on an outdated booking system.
Using GPS technology, the ingogo mobile and online app allows direct interaction between the potential passenger and the nearest taxi driver. Potential passenger requests a taxi nearby and they can bid extra for a guaranteed pickup response. They also track and receives updates of the taxi's location and progress, upon completion of the trip passenger pays the taxi driver.
On the other hand, removes wasted hours and gas for taxi drivers searching for passengers.
Ingogo is about to shake up the taxi industry in Australia by placing control between passengers and taxi drivers.

I’m a taxi driver/operator. If the driver’s app runs on the Android platform I’m very interested. My phone is HTC Desire.
