Radar.Taxi is a service inspired by the technology used in aviation, where airplanes have a
Transponder
that emits its identification, its position on the map, and other data such as height, bearing, etc.
Radar.Taxi provides you with an App that is a “Transponder
”For taxis and that sends your position to an internet site as well as your photo, the photo of the car, the license number, how many passengers you can take and if you receive credit cards.
In order to see where the closest taxis are, the passenger does not need to download an application. Only access the web page in your browser.
Radar.TaxiIt is a service whose providers are ONLY authorized taxi drivers, it offers several advantages to both the passenger and the taxi driver:
The tour and the price is determined in advance. Communication between the taxi and the passenger is facilitated, either by chat or by voice.
How are the rates for the taximeters established?Rates are set with two rationales in mind:
Establish a regulated and transparent fare for passengers and protect the taxi drivers' union (and the high value of the license)
This modality has created a virtual monopoly where the passenger is not in a position to negotiate or discuss the price. There are cases where the driver takes advantage of the passenger's ignorance by using longer routes and it is justified that the meter shows a “fair” price.
The abuse
on the part of some it has discredited the union. Radar.Taxi is intended to restore image and prestige
of the taxis and help them fight against the unfair competition of the Ubers and their like.
This situation has stimulated the creation of Uber-type platforms that have become widespread by offering the following advantages:
- The passenger knows in advance the cost of his journey
- The passenger is picked up where he is
- You can pay with credit cards
- The passenger knows the data of the driver and his qualifications
- In addition to competing with taxi drivers by using lower prices.
With
Radar.Taxi the passenger knows its cost in advance.
The taxi driver knows where to go to look for the passenger (without the intermediary of the radiotaxi company)
The cost of the ride
We calculate the price of the trip that the passenger and the driver receive along with the map of the ride.
The price we calculate is based on local regulations, without taking into account delays due to traffic congestion. In a sense, the meter is out of the equation.
What is the fair price? The fair price is the value at which the transaction was closed considering factors such as the offer of other sellers. The taxi driver has to consider that the Uber have created a price competition and somehow a compromise is necessary.
Additional benefits for drivers.
Disengage from companies that offer radio taxi services and their monthly cost
Disengage and stop paying to be at a taxi rank.
Fuel savings. It is no longer necessary to ambulate.
Example: After a trip out of the city, it is not necessary to return to the taxi rank. A person in the way back can request the taxi in a timely manner.
One year free
We know it's going to take time for the public to learn about the service.
That's why we offer the service free for the first year. After the first year, in order to receive trips, the equivalent of one dollar per day will be charged, regardless of how many trips are made.
