New app to order a taxi – and track its progress

The Jersey Taxi Drivers Association says that the Jersey Taxiapp will enable Islanders to order public-rank taxis and track the driver’s progress.

The technology, which will be free to download, also enables Islanders to make cashless payments for their journeys through an account that works like a pre-paid mobile contract.

Islanders will instruct drivers to take the fare from the funds in their account on arrival at their destination.

In a statement, the JTDA said: ‘With just a couple of taps on your mobile, you will be able to hail the closest taxi to your door.

‘You will never have to wonder where your driver is again, as the app shows you exactly where the taxi is and you can watch its GPS location, and then the app will also alert you when your driver arrives.’

More details about the app are expected to be released shortly.
