Taxi…
• ‘Networked mobility’ – no taxis at stations•Taxi has a future, is the future as missing
link•Versatility, flexibility, cost-effectiveness,
sustainability•Thrives on attention, proper framework
and information exchange
Taxi, anytime, anywhere - Is this the taxi service of the future?• GPS- and ‘intelligent’
on-board IT; road-side dialogue
• Advanced communication technology (beyond apps)
• New payment systems (car2go)
Taxi…as diversion• Total Recall by Paul
Verhoeven• Taxi Driver with De Niro• Taxi TV-series with DeVito• Cash Cab, QuizTaxi, Hep
Taxi, interview platforms, shows
• Unlimited taxi formats, versatility and recognizable style
Taxi as a system = the missing link
• Johnny Cab or… Taxi is a system; more than a vehicle and a driver
• Its USP: transport and additional services• A system beyond (occasional) street-hail• Not limited by vehicle size or passenger
numbers• Enhanced not limited by regulation
Examples… • Public transport: financial
and service cuts• Large parts of the world:
taxi backbone of public transport
• Industrialised world: capillaries of these services, low density
• Merging transport and financing streams
• Seamless business travel: taxi in booking systems
Starting point• Recognition, regulation
and integration as public transport
• Cooperation, coordination, economies of scale, sustainability
• Forge international links, exchange information
• Taxi, anytime, anywhere = the taxi AND the system
Taxi, anytime, anywhere
