Phorest make Taxi driver's life easier
Today there are over 11,000 certified Taxis in Dublin - yet there are
only 20,000 in London, a city 9 times as big. In fact, it only takes
13,000 yellow cabs to service the 7 million population of New York City.
We have had a fourfold increase in cabs since 2000. Which means it is
getting tougher and tougher for taxi drivers to find fares.
So Phorest have teamed up with Where's the Fares? Director, Ken Cowley
to set up taxi drivers with an information service that lets them know
where the fares are and at what time by text. Everyday the driver
receives an SMS with the full details on finishing times of all major
sport, theatre, music and conference events, as well as major plane,
train and boat arrivals, plus important traffic information. All for
less than the price of one average fare per week.
Colm Ennis has been a taxi driver in Dublin for over 10 years and has
been using the service since its launch in June. "It's been a great
help. It is getting harder and harder to make money from taxi plates
these days. There are so many cabs on the roads now. These text messages
mean I spend less time driving around and more time earning money. As
soon as I'm free I check the text and can go straight to the nearest
busy point. It's a life saver."
Where's the fares? is the ideal service to help taxi drivers stay one
step ahead of the competition. No need to waste valuable petrol driving
around in an empty cab. Just text TAXI to 57252 (€6 per week for 7
texts) and you can subscribe at any time.
Phorest are one of Ireland's leading SMS providers. Established in 2001,
they provide the BusTxt® service for Dublin Bus which receives over
100,000 texts per month.
