An app to book a taxi is now available for your smartphone in Ireland and the UK, using the GPS in the phone to tie down your location, writes Brian Byrne.
Clickataxi.com has just gone live in these islands, after previously launching in Scandinavia, the Ukraine, and Poland. Other coverage through Europe, Asia and the Americas is being rolled out during the rest of the summer.
Click A Taxi's app is free and costs nothing to use except whatever data download charges your phone operator provides. It's available from iTunes or Google Play.
There are no extra charges at the taxi end, just the normal meter payments. Click A Taxi is working with selected taxi services in its various locations.
