Ixigo lets you compare multiple cab providers’ fares, even if your phone doesn’t have an active Internet connection
Many of us have a couple of taxi service icons on our mobile phones and are used to calling up a Meru, an Ola, a TaxiForSure or a Uber cab. It works fine — except that one needs an Internet connection: the WiFi at home, free hotspots in many public places — or a data pack for the phone. How often have you been caught in urgent need of a cab but no connectivity!
The travel search leader, ixigo, has come to the rescue with an app that does two things: It aggregates multiple cab providers saving you the hassle of calling them one by one. And it works even if you don’t have Internet access and your phone doesn’t fix your location with GPS. It uses a clever combo of SMS messages and earlier travel PNRs on your phone to figure out where you are ( hey’re not saying exactly how!)
The ixigo cab app needs a single tap to initiate the cab search and works for many other taxi services like day-long travel or intercity journeys.
