Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles David is late. He's just finished at work and has to get to the airport fast. Otherwise his girlfriend will fly away for holiday alone. Public transport is out of question; he wouldn't make it in time. Taxi could be solution. But it's a rush hour and he might not get through to his dispatching company or get a nearby taxi. There's no time. What if David had a free tool to see available taxis nearby? Current system of taxi services is inefficient. Customers rarely get nearest available taxis. Drivers then have to drive a lot of extra miles and customers have to wait longer than necessary. We've developed Liftago Taxi in order to put some sense into taxis, relieve urban transportation and help both sides of the market. Customers get offers from nearby drivers and fair drivers save their cost and better utilize their time. Liftago enables customers to choose their taxis by arrival time, fare, driver rating and more and thus naturally creates a free market. Taxis are the first step. Even today we are already saving fuel for the drivers, sparing our customers some waiting and reduces exhaust emissions in cities. Our vision is a city without traffic jams and without excess of parked cars. Liftago will offer accessible means of urban transportation such as taxi, bike sharing, ride sharing or car sharing. Liftago is a tech platform for urban transportation which will radically decrease the number of cars in cities. Liftago -- Technological platform for urban transportation.
