ADVANTAGES FOR PASSENGERS

Taxis is all about giving you a better service. That means an easier way to call a cab; a better way to get confirmation; and a faster and more secure way to pay the fare.

It is also cheaper when you use your credit card. At the moment you pay 11%. With TAXIS you pay 8.49% including GST. And you get immediate access to all records and details.

With a TAXIS stored value account it's even cheaper at a 5% surcharge. And 20% of that goes to the driver

A few months ago, in Melbourne, there was a fire at one of the major Taxi Base Headquarters, and the despatch Radio System was out of action for an extended period. That also put the drivers at risk because the taxi security system went down also. But some drivers then used the excuse that the eftpos system was down and only took credit card payments with the dreaded "clic-clac". Fraud resulted.

With TAXIS everything is on the internet and action takes place from your own 3G Mobile. There are no more excuses, and no opportunities to access your credit card by the driver.

The information you get as soon as the job is accepted by a driver gives you security that is generally not now available. You have the Taxi Number, the Driver's Name and Mobile , and an ETA.

The immediate access to records not only gives a contact for lost property, but proof of payment, and a check of what was paid. For the end of month reconciliation of Taxi Expenses, it's an end to scraps of paper receipts and a means of pre-sorting the cost centres against which to post charges. The time and effort saving is huge.
