MIT Tassista è l'applicazione del Comune di Milano, sviluppata da Fastweb in collaborazione con Interactive Media, dedicata ai tassisti e introdotta in concomitanza con l'avvio del numero unico 02.7777. L’APP permette al tassista di ricevere e gestire le chiamate provenienti dal sistema MilanoInTaxi. E' questa la grande opportunità offerta da MilanoInTaxi, un metodo che manda in pensione le vecchie colonnine gialle e le sostituisce con un innovativo sistema tecnologico, che indirizza autonomamente le richieste ai posteggi taxi al taxi libero più vicino rispetto alla chiamata, migliorando il servizio sia per l'utente che per il tassista. MilanoInTaxi dà la possibilità ai tassisti di gestire al meglio il proprio lavoro, fornendo un quadro sempre aggiornato delle richieste e riducendo i tempi di attesa, senza costi aggiuntivi per la gestione del servizio. Ciò garantisce all'utente anche un potenziale risparmio economico grazie alla possibilità di usufruire del veicolo più vicino.

Sciame ("swarm" in Italian) lets you share a taxi with other people going your way — and split the fare. HOW IT WORKS • Find a ride: see departures near you on the map, with live ride counts at every stop. • Or create one: pick departure and destination, date and time, and get an instant fare estimate. Others can join your ride. • Meet at the stop, ride together, pay only your share. WHY SCIAME • Save money: a €40 airport ride split 4 ways is €10 each. • Transparent costs: your share is shown upfront and adjusts automatically as people join. • Secure payments: your card is only charged at the end of the ride, for your real share. Payments are processed by Stripe. • Group chat: coordinate with your ride companions in the app. • Shareable ride summary: perfect for expense reports. • Polline points: earn rewards for every ride and for inviting friends. PERFECT FOR • Airport transfers • Train stations • Nightlife • Daily commutes • Tourists visiting Italy: the app is fully available in English. Sciame currently operates in Italy. Download it, find your swarm, and stop paying full fare. Terms: https://www.sciame.cloud/terms/ Privacy: https://www.sciame.cloud/privacy/

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MIT Driver at none against Sciame's shown. MIT Driver also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Sciame's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
