Taxi-booking app GetTaxi launches site to manage businesses’ driving needs
Skift Take
Taxi-booking apps need something to differentiate themselves from the plethora of services, and a site aimed at HR departments for taxiing interviewees sounds niche enough to have a shot at success.
…GetTaxi, serves the UK, Israel and Russia (US coming soon), and it has now rolled out an interesting new update to its black-cab booking service in London.
The startup has launched a new website geared towards businesses, though it’s usable by anyone without a smartphone. The new portal will likely appeal to HR divisions or those responsible for managing a company’s taxi services, and it lets users set up an account for this purpose online, so that those taking the ride don’t personally pay for a fare upon arrival.
