This is the service for those who want to make money with their cars, cover car maintenance costs or start their own business in the sphere of transportation. You can work with several taxi companies at once without being confined to the office and have a flexible work schedule. Different types of tariffs help to calculate the exact order price. A fixed price is known beforehand. A taxi meter is used for charging by time and distance. If a passenger changes the route during the trip or asks to wait, it is easy to edit the order by yourself and calculate the price taking into account the client's wishes. In case of an emergency, there is an opportunity to ask other drivers for help using an alarm button. This functional application makes working for a taxi company convenient.
