After talking in the first two installments of this miniseries about two applications that have nothing to do with a normal taxi, now it is the turn of one who wants to modernize the taxis of a lifetime. The app myTaxi It is the best answer in the taxi world to the rest of the opponents, and the truth is that it is not bad at all. We are going to analyze it to see its pros and cons by focusing on the important details.
A modern taxi
The basis of this app is the taxi of a lifetime, since they will be the vehicles that we use to move once we contract the trip through the mobile. Regarding the process of managing a trip, everything is practically the same as in other apps such as Uber or Lyft, including payment through mobile and the simplicity of managing it, accepting in addition to traditional payment the possibility of pay both credit or debit card and PayPal through the app.
Compared to 'modern' alternatives such as Uber and Cabify, myTaxi has an advantage that may be interesting for some users: by operating under traditional taxis, vehicles can move around Bus Taxi lanes, something that non-taxi passenger transport vehicles are not allowed. This theoretically translates into arriving at the destination earlier.
Operation
The operation of the service in terms of time is very good. In large cities, the arrival of taxis to our position is very fast and we will hardly have to wait, something that is greatly appreciated, although it must be recognized that after some uses we have encountered somewhat imprecise arrival estimates, although this is somewhat frequent in this type of applications.
The Calculator function that we can find in the application settings is also very interesting, as it allows us to obtain the estimated price of a trip and it is usually quite close to reality, although it can vary according to the circumstances of each day.
At the interface level there is nothing to object, it is very correct, with clean colors and a very necessary simplicity of use in an application of this type. Likewise, the operation at all times is optimal, without lag of any kind and updating correctly at all times as long as we have an active mobile network or WiFi.
Note about registration: You can make a normal registration without promotional credit, or alternatively get free money for your first trip by entering the code "carlos.san57".
