Zapacab

We are the first free mobile service in Africa that allow Passengers to find and order a Cab from the convenience of their phone. By entering their number, we detect their location and ping the closest drivers. The Passenger knows how long the driver will take to arrive, and can monitor the cab as it nears their location. We aim to remove all inefficiencies and annoyances of phoning a taxi dispatch. [more] We will also be increasing the amount of business cab drivers are receiving, and increasing their profit by reducing the amount of time spent driving around in search of clients. In future we will expand to offer mobile payment systems.[/more]
