myTaxiControl iPhone Application myTaxiControl iPhone Application

Worldwide real-time TAXIMETER, putting YOU, the passenger, in total control.
* App has all tariff details to calculate a cab's fare with high accuracy (flagfall, price per km/mile and/or time, slow traffic handling, thresholds, waiting time, time validity, …)
* All tariff details, (including name like “Paris:Lampe Blanche” or “Singapore:Peak Hours – Normal Car”) are displayed.
* Available for 155 cities worldwide. Full list on www.mytaxicontrol.com
* Taxi passenger can easily check if driver has set the taximeter correctly. You no longer have to pay the night tariff during the day!
* mTC updates the taximeter amount as the car moves, is stopped in traffic or is waiting upon passenger's request. This allows immediate detection of a possible taximeter manipulation.
* App's main functionality, the taximeter, does not need an open Internet connection if you load the database in advance.
* In cities with “creative” taxi drivers, like “Sorry, taximeter broken…”, you can propose to the driver to use myTaxiControl instead.
* When you type in your destination, the App will calculate the shortest route, display it on a map (in green color) and give you a quote for the fare. Internet connection is needed for this service.
* The route actually taken by the driver is displayed on the same map (in black color). You can easily detect if you are “taken for a ride”.
* It can happen that the location information received from GPS, cell towers or Wifi stops or is of poor quality. mTC will then display those route segments in red color and will update the taximeter based on the area’s waiting tariff. As soon as it receives again good location data, it will use the applicable tariff for the fare calculation.
* You can even calculate the estimated fare before boarding a taxi, putting you in an excellent negotiation position for a fixed price. You can do this for any trip in the world within the covered cities. Example: you are located in New York and you will be flying to Paris the next day. You can enter your trip details (like Paris Airport to Champs Elysées) or drag pins on the map, and mTC will tell you how much you can expect to pay.
* You get useful behavior recommendations, like tipping practice or do's and don'ts.
* In almost all cities, the App will tell you where you can complain should there be a problem with your taxi trip.
