E-hailing App mytaxi Unveils Full Rebuild, Offering More Choice to Passengers and Laying the Foundation for Broader Mobility Offers
Passengers now will have the choice when booking their journey with Taxi XL and wheelchair accessible vehicles displayed directly at the order screen within the app. Making those booking options more prominent, gives both passengers and drivers new increased visibility of the journey needs, making the ride more comfortable and suitable for all.
Along with the look and feel changes, the app is technically able to offer a broader variety of service types in the future.
The new update for the mytaxi app is available on iOS and android from today. While introducing a new look and feel with easier ordering options, the main purpose of the app remains the same: It directly links a passenger with a driver around the corner. On average, mytaxi users wait less than four minutes for their taxi.
The app offers in-app payment, full Google maps integration for both passengers and drivers as well as a fare estimate to calculate the costs in advance.
mytaxi was founded in June 2009 and was the world's first taxi app that established a direct connection between a passenger and a taxi driver. With more than 10 million passengers and 100,000 drivers, mytaxi is the leading taxi e-hailing app in Europe .
Mytaxi works with licensed black cabs in the UK. In 2018, we have launched in six new cities in six months outside of London ; Nottingham , Manchester , Brighton , Edinburgh , Oxford and Reading.
Since September 2014 , mytaxi has been part of Daimler Mobility Services GmbH (part of the Daimler Group). In July 2016 , mytaxi announced a merger with Hailo, the leading taxi app in the UK and Ireland , an important step in becoming the leading taxi e-hailing app in Europe .
mytaxi today works with 500 employees in 26 offices and is available in around 100 European cities. Eckart Diepenhorst is the CEO of mytaxi. More information is available at: www.mytaxi.com
