Taxi jet every driver for each passenger

"to Call himself because not decided, before the phone, he felt helpless, he could yell, to throw up; K. closed an important way. K. indecision irritated his companion. "Who says? — he said and added: — I would be very obliged if there is less than called, only that we have called"".

The picture is not very similar to our daily lives, especially since the phone has to use less. However, if you want to call a taxi, use have to. And well, if you have the number of a pair of three proven tixotherm, but in rush hour and it might not work, besides, from the conversation with the dispatcher not to get out – and here again, the pickup address, destination, again, hard to hear, how many will arrive, how much and so on. Fortunately, there are mobile technologies that are already in a hurry to deliver us from such inconveniences.

Not a phone and not even a phone call

So, in Moscow for the last six months, there have been several applications for smartphones, developing the direction of the taxi with a single tap. Work out of them today is as follows: inTaxi, Yandex.Taxi and GetTaxi Wheely. The first three aggregators with a set of convenient features, it is to their system to connect existing taxi companies, and your order is routed to them. The third is essentially the same cab company, only with a fundamentally new system of ordering and even more features. However, something in this variety is still not enough. What it is — just not in the eye catches, so we decided to dig a little deeper and this is what came.

But

"Very simple,' said the headman. – You, apparently, have never had to get in contact with our offices. Every such contact is only apparent. You also because of ignorance of our Affairs, he seems to be something real."

The driver, as a direct service provider, still separated from the passenger by the offices, which, among other things, contribute to existing misunderstandings (although in reality it is only apparent). Despite the fact that now the movement of designated driver can be seen on the map, but the rating system might make it smiling and more helpful, to Express themselves as an individual player he can't. Well, after these words just have to go out and create the society for the protection of taxi drivers. ))

Here

Actually the issue is not how to exalt the taxi drivers, but an elementary balance. Of course, when we come to the store, we believe that we have the benefit of rights, and the sellers mostly only duties. Moreover, this plan sometimes works, and we get an acceptable quality of service, but, in my opinion, it is apparent. After all, there is another scheme shop – ebay.com – everyone can be a seller and a buyer, without changing the account. All are equal, and the interaction takes place on a completely different level – more natural something – in this case both sides win. Yes, the rating system is present here too and even plays a fundamental role, but it is not the same rating system that the corporations, when after visiting the sales office you will receive SMS asking to rate the quality of service by any employee.

From the prelude to the Fugue

Finally we got to Taxi jet — mobile apps for Android and iOS, which connects the nearby taxi drivers and passengers directly. We decided not to reinvent the wheel and try to arrange peer-to-peer taxi service market such as Ebay or Airbnb, so the application has two modes – "Passenger" and "Driver". All convenient features of course present. List them in thesis form.
Features of "Passenger":
the

the
• Address is determined automatically.
the
• All of the available taxi displayed on the map.

the Passenger chooses a driver, depending on the tariff, individual rating and distance. Also available his picture and model of the car.

After ordering you can track the driver in real time on the map.

the fare is calculated by GPS taximeter.

Features of "Driver":
the

the
• Receive orders directly from passengers.
the
• Setting its rate.
the
• Interactive map shows where there are concentrations of potential passengers.
the
• For each incoming order is displayed the customer's location on the map and its rating.
the
• Instant notification of new order like a phone call just enough to accept or reject it.

Important

Now the app is in beta test. Registration is completely free — every driver gets a welcome 3000 rubles, which is enough for 2 months. During this period, there may not be drivers or passengers near you, but don't despair, we are working to attract users, and each registered user will be able to help us, and the most active participants will be rewarded.

Very important for us your opinion and suggestions you can leave on our mini-forum in the technical support https://jettaxiru.uservoice.com/

The ideas that receive the most votes will be implemented.

Now and then

I just have to talk about some of the unmentioned features. The app works anywhere you have Google maps, but soon plans to move to OpenStreetMap. for iOS completely ready, but the moderators of Cupertino unpleasant "surprise" availability of the payment systems Qiwi and PayPal in the app. Been there, done and waiting for approval this week. Working on version for Windows Phone 7 also started. Anticipating questions about the legitimacy of the taxi drivers will say that while to try yourself as a driver can every user, but at the end of the beta test will be introduced authentication mechanism. By the way, another important plan for the future is "legalization bomb." The fact that illegal passenger transportation still make up a huge share of the market, from getting a license people often alienates its uselessness due to the extortion of taxi companies and dispatching. If we are able to help at least part of the drivers work according to the law, well, that would be great.

Da capo al fine

In the Castle, I am told, as if the phone works fine, there calling constantly, which, of course, really accelerates the process. These incessant phone calls reach us through the local devices in the form of noise and
singing, you probably also heard. So, the only thing you can believe is noise and singing, they are real, everything else is a deception.
