Just Google Maps with an overlay showing the taxis&#8217; and commuters&#8217; location. Tap on Taxi icon\u00a0to let taxis knows that you are at that location.<\/p>\n<p>Not a correct position, no worries. You can change to the\u00a0correct position on my map. Just press the Taxi logo, locate your real current position, tap on it and a logo will show up. Just need to confirm it to complete.<\/p>\n<p>Do note that NOT ALL positions can be marked. It might say you are out of the boundary. Try again until you get your nearest one.<\/p>\n<p>BTW, you cannot call a cab from this app. This app is just a way to &#8220;communicate&#8221; both ways to the commuters and to the taxis. I think it as a beacon (of hope?) for taxis and commuters.<\/p>\n<p>As this is the first version, many features will not be there. Hopefully it gets better in the next release. Here are the initial features.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Commuters can spot available taxis where-ever they are, whenever they want<\/li>\n<li>Commuters can easily indicate their need for taxi by tapping on the exact location of choice<\/li>\n<li>Taxi drivers can get visibility of where commuters have indicated their need for one<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Taxi-Taxi@SG app is available both for Google Android and Apple iOS devices.<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=sg.gov.lta.taxitaxisg&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to get Taxi-Taxi@SG for Android<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>or<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/sg\/app\/taxi-taxi-sg\/id939482252?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to get Taxi-Taxi@SG for iOS<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>[ad#img]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LTA has finally launched the TAXI-TAXI app. It is a win-win situation for taxis and commuter.
