The taxi market has managed to weather the storm after Uber made things tense for a while by allowing similar routes for a much lower price Something that put taxi drivers legal between a rock and a hard place by not being able to carry out initiatives that encourage its use. Hence the emergence of applications and alternative services.Something that the application Mytaxi wants to change, and for this reason it has launched a campaign through which users can save half of the travel for the next few days Without having to access any type of contest or perform any complex task.
The campaign consists of halving any journey carried out by the user through the application Mytaxi from today, May 4, and until next May 17 A cost that the company itself The company will assume to try to encourage the consumption of this means of transport that does not finish adapting to the current era. And it is that users seek to save as much as possible on their trips, and for this reason they tend to use other private transport services that compete in cost, although they may be illegal, as was the case until now with Uber
All you have to do is use the application Mytaxi during these days to travel in cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Seville After requesting the race and carrying it out, just choose the option Pay via App , which allows you to make the transfer from the tool, with a credit card number so you don't have to carry money with you. At that time the driver enters the cost of the trip and the 50 percent discount is automatically appliedWithout the need to carry out more steps than the usual payment, but always through the application.
Apparently, Mytaxi already tested this initiative last December in the city of Hamburg , from which it originally arose.A proposal that was a success for the application and the taxi drivers, increasing the influx of travelers who decided to make the leap to this application and their payment through it . And it is that, “everyone who has tried this function appreciates its practicality and never goes back to more traditional payment methods”, says the creator and director of Mytaxi, Niclaus Mewes.
Applications for transportation by taxi are becoming more popular, there are different alternatives depending on whether you want to request a taxi in a comfortable and simple way, as is the case with Mytaxi , or also Hailo In these cases it can be used even if the place where it is is not known, always notifying a vehicle with proper papers and an approved driver. Others like Cabify have their own drivers, always within the law, but without being a proper taxi.Of course, Mytaxi is the first to launch an initiative that halves the cost of taxis with approved taxis It is available for all major mobile platforms for free. It can be downloaded from Google Play, App Store andWindows Phone Store
