Taxi-hailing App Development

Uber’s international success has triggered an evolution of the taxi business. Today, more and more ride-hailing services are gaining ground against traditional taxis.

Competition

In the past few years, taxi apps have popped up in many countries. To pull ahead of the rivals, a taxi-booking startup needs to focus on building a network of drivers and passengers and offering an equally pleasing experience for both parties.

Name	Platform	Feature set
Uber	iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Apple Watch	Uber lets customers travel in style. It offers fast, easy, and comfortable rides at the tap of a button. Since its introduction in 20xx, Uber has changed people’s perception of what a taxi is.
Lyft	iOS, Android	Lyft offers nearly the same set of features as Uber, but with an emphasis on the social component and the fun of ride sharing.
Arro	iOS, Android	Arro was created by NYC’s taxi industry veterans, allowing users to e-hail a regular cab. It offers functions much like Uber but with no surge pricing. Arror’s fares are metered. The app is viewed as a serious competitor to Uber [in the NYC metropolitan area].
