Hailing a cab just got easier, thanks to a Richmond-based firm that has produced a free, smart phone app which can connect customers with any taxi company in the Lower Mainland.
Zoro, the app produced by DDS Wireless International, gives passengers access to more than 1,000 taxis from more than 10 companies. It’s an expansion from apps that were previously dedicated to specific cab companies, each of which worked in its own pick-up area.
Zoro automatically arranges a ride from the appropriate company based on your pick-up location.
It also estimates your fare, tracks your taxi on a map from dispatch until drop off, and in the future will let you to pay for the trip from your phone. Zoro is free and can be downloaded from getzoro.com.
