Easy Taxi, the leading e-hailing app in Saudi Arabia, announces the launch of its new application for all main platforms, including iOS, Android, and Windows Phone devices. The new features are already available and set great benefits for both passengers and taxi driver communities. Combined with the new functions, developed specifically for each country, the fresh and clean design creates a better, more reliable, and faster Easy Taxi experience.

 

Among the many features, Easy Taxi has developed an improved driver allocation algorithm and friendly user map solution. The more intelligent and faster algorithm calculates the pickup route for the nearby drivers and then designates the closest available one. On the driver side, once he accepts the ride, his app will automatically outline the best route to to the pick-up point. Easy Taxi estimates that this should reduce pick up time up to 25%.

 

Another feature worth mentioning is that now passengers can include their destination address when ordering a taxi. This allows the taxi driver to know the destination and as well as the best route using his GPS. This feature provides the smoothest experience possible for recurring local users and is also important for international travelers who do not speak the local language.

 

"Easy Taxi has as a mission, to improve the user experience in transportation, both in using an app as well as the in cab experience. Our new app is faster, more reliable and better user experience as never before. Our list of improvements were all carefully executed to ensure the user experience reaches a new level. Looking forward, we will continue to work relentlessly to keep delivering the fastest and best experience to you,” commented Eugen Brikcius, the General Manager of Easy Taxi Saudi Arabia.
