Ixigo has announced a ‘1-Tap Cab Booking’ system on its platform where you can hail a cab with a single tap on a button on your android home screen, and it works without any internet or GPS connection. This means one can book the app in places without a stable internet connection, such as airports, railway stations, bus stations and even while the user is en-route to his destination.
The company uses a combination of intelligence about the user’s location through existing PNR confirmations on a user’s phone and SMSes for when the internet connection doesn’t work to seamlessly book a cab for the user. The app also prompts the users prior to their journey to the station or airport and also when they have just landed or are about to reach their destination.
Ixigo cabs is a meta-aggregator of cabs, autos and ground transportation services, allowing users to search & book from multiple app-based cab providers such as Ola, TaxiForSure, EasyCabs, Jugnoo etc. directly from within its own app.
