New Delhi: ixigo, India’s leading travel search app has announced the launch of ‘OneÂTap Cab Booking’ on the ixigo cabs app  an innovative feature that allows booking the nearest available cab in one tap of a button on the user’s home screen.
Currently available for Android, OneÂTap Cab Booking will work even in places without a stable internet connection, such as airports, railway stations, bus stations and even while the user is on their way.
Commenting on the launch, ixigo CTO and CoÂFounder, Rajnish Kumar said, “Opening multiple cab apps to compare ETAs and pricing, and then booking a cab consumes time, specially when you are at a place with weak Internet and GPS signals. On average it takes a minimum of 20 seconds to book a cab on any of the existing cab apps. With OneÂTab Cab Bookings, we allow users to book their nearest cab in just three seconds by tapping and holding a button on their home screen. The best part is that this feature works even without internet and GPS. No more stress when you land at the airport or as your train is arriving at your station. Just OneÂTap and you are done.”
ixigo uses a combination of intelligence about the user’s location through existing PNR confirmations on a user’s phone and SMS’s for when the internet connection doesn’t work to seamlessly book a cab for the user.
ixigo cabs app also intelligently prompts the users prior to their journey to the station or airport and also when they have just landed or are about to reach their destination.
Since its launch, ixigo cabs has become the largest aggregator of cabs, autos and ground transportation services, allowing users to search and book from multiple app based cab providers such as Ola, TaxiForSure, EasyCabs and Jugnoo. (ANI)
