Taxi 24/7- An Open Letter to UK Taxi

Drivers

Taxi 24/7 is a social peer-to-peer mobile network allowing users to
book and pay for their journey.


LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM- May 27, 2014- iView Incorporation recently announced
their launch of the UK Pilot Testing Program (PTP). The PTP was an initiative designed to
reward and enable black cab drivers with the latest technology to process payments and
eventually, accept jobs. Taxi 24/7 is an iPhone application which is currently in limited
release to drivers and passengers in the UK region and is fast expanding its payment arm
before opening up its job request functionality.
Taxi 24/7 is committed to providing a premium service to its customers and therefore
willing chooses to exclusively partner with black cab drivers. We are familiar with the
recent outburst in London against Hailo, which announced their application for a Private
Hire Operators License. Halio claims that these are tough times that call for tough
decisions, the statement is ridiculously overrated and signies a mere attempt to
abandon taxi drivers and boost their own revenue stream. At Taxi 24/7, we do not
believe in such decisions and treatment of drivers. Rather we value the importance of
black cab drivers who have been providing a reputable service for over two centuries. It is
much more benecial for Taxi 24/7 to leverage cab drivers to be more competitive
against private hire cars than simply opening up to unlicensed and untrained drivers.
Thus, we would like to announce the following promotion in addition to our commitment
to all current and prospective UK drivers.
