The App proceeds to use a GPS Technology to locate the passenger's current location and matches them with the nearest available driver.
Once the request is accepted, passengers can see the driver's information such as their name, photo, and ratings from previous passengers.
Passengers can also track the driver's location in real time on the App.
Payment is done in 2 methods, either by Card or Cash whereby the cash payment can be done via funds transfer or physical cash.
In addition to benefitting passengers, Taxicabby also provides an opportunity for individuals to earn passive income by becoming drivers.
