Taxibeat - How it Works (taxibeatvideos)

Taxibeat’s smartphone app, available on iOS and Android, enables users to locate nearby taxis, hail the driver of their choice and rate them once the ride is over. Rather than running its own fleet, it targets independent taxi drivers and those associated with taxi firms, charging a small commission on the business it brings, with no extra charge passed on to passengers.

Meanwhile, passengers using the free app get a much greater choice of taxi ride, right down to the individual driver, guided by user ratings and other information displayed, such as current distance and what amenities are available in the taxi.
