The American New York city taxi and Limousine Commission voted today in favour of modernising the service using mobile applications such as Uber, Hailo and GetTaxi available for iOS and Android. In this way, users may request a taxi simply from your smartphone. I am afraid that the typical gesture of raising your hand to stop a taxi go down in history.
This new measure consists in a pilot program that obtains permission from developers to test their applications to call a taxi and even pay. While this gives a modern air to the city, this decision has generated much controversy.
In a survey made by the passengers, the majority replied that they would like to be able to manage all service taxis from his own smartphone, both reserve it and pay it. After the emergence of the mobile phones, it was normal that this decision was taken. Increasingly has more to try to manage everything from the Palm of our hand.
Although they had been discussing on ongoing programmes, which have adopted is temporary, only will be valid for one year. However, if it works well, it would not be surprising that they decided to continue with him. If they had proposed some permanent measure, probably the majority of the members of the Commission would have rejected it.
However, the President of the Commission, David Yassky, told The Wall Street Journal that the use of applications for booking taxis will be very useful for most passengers. Furthermore, it ensures that this step was inevitable to meet the demand of consumers.
Definitely, we are going towards a connected world. Though many deny it, it is a reality and the New York taxi Commission has done well to adopt this program. In fact, the President of the Commission himself stated they could not miss that opportunity and that passengers deserve.
Now taxis traditions yellows will be more modern than ever. Only lack that drivers adapt well to these new technologies to make the change a success.
