The New Easy Taxi Innovative App - Now in Kenya!

How do you get your cab? Do you walk everywhere in search of a favorite looking taxi? Or, do you scroll down your phone’s contact list and call at least three taxi drivers whenever you need a ride? Both are inconveniencing. The second option of scrolling down your contact list can also be a nightmare. You might have taken that number a few weeks ago, saved it, forgot to include the word taxi while saving, and now you cannot know who among the many John’s is the taxi guy. Or you saved it right, it became the fifth taxi guy in your contact list, but when you call them one by one the first is too far, the second is engaged and the rest have their phones in airplane mode.

Those inconveniences are what made people like Easy Taxi come up with the brilliant idea of connecting you to your favorite taxi guy without having to leave office, meeting venue, or home. You also don’t have to save any driver’s number anymore. The Easy Taxi drivers are generally concentrated around Westlands, CBD, Kileleshwa, Lavington, Ngong Road, Karen and adjacent areas. Eastlands is yet to witness the presence of cab drivers allied to Easy Taxi and their absence in this region could be as a result of lack of adequate customers in Eastlands.

Easy Taxi App

The Easy Taxi App is a simple one to use. You just go to your App Store e.g. Google Play, download the App, create an account by providing your name, email address and phone number – and you are ready to Request a Taxi. There is something we really like doing whenever we download new apps, we like to test if all the features work. The problem with testing if Easy Taxi’s “Request Taxi” feature works is that an actual Taxi will come to pick you up, so, don’t test it. Just use it.

Once you press Request Taxi, it should not take more than seven minutes (you need to be in the areas I have mentioned above) before the Taxi arrives to pick you. If you are out of the concentration zone, then the nearest Taxi might take up to 20, 30 minutes or even 2 hours before picking you up – depending on the traffic situation.

The benefits derived from using Easy Taxi as a Passenger

These are the pros of using Easy Taxi as a passenger as explained by Easy Taxi, and I agree:

• Convenient: Tired of calling multiple taxi drivers to find the closest one to you? With Easy Taxi, the application automatically detects your position and looks for the closest taxi driver around you!
• Safe: Never get into a taxi with a stranger again! With Easy Taxi, all of our partner drivers are registered into our database so you can see the taxi drivers’ name, phone number, and car details BEFORE he picks you up!
• Reliable: How many times has your taxi driver told you “I’m right here!”, or “I’m 5 minutes away!” only to find out that he’s really far away? With Easy Taxi, you can track your taxi’s arrival in real-time via the built-in GPS
• Price Guide: Nobody enjoys haggling over taxi prices. With Easy Taxi, you can check the built-in tariff for the most popular routes in Nairobi so you always have an idea on the right price range. 

Easy Taxi are adding more neighborhoods weekly so pretty soon, you’ll never have to argue again!
