Ratings and reviews

I was very pleased to find out that there was an app available. To me, that's a very big differentiator when choosing a taxi company. So I tried it and I am very happy with what I've experienced. The user journey is fairly similar to the other common app in the market.. there are a couple of things that I would still update, like the greyed out buttons as they look disabled being so grey.. but other than that I am happy. I'll have to keep using it to be able to give a more informed feedbac

Never had much trouble after using it for many years. Recently the location has been way off. Even using GPS to exactly pinpoint location it sent the driver to a completely wrong address. Has its ups and downs I guess.

My experience: Taxis drove off with other passengers, app doesn't work well, phone support picks up but does not provide important information and they charge you anyway for their failures and incompetence. Uber is 100% better even if we like to hate on it. I will never use this company again or taxis for that matter. Ride-sharing is the best thing that had happened to this industry.
