Taxify has now appeared in Debrecen

Taxify, the Estonian-founded start-up has launched its service in Debrecen, Hungary’s second biggest city, and already operates from the beginning of October 2018.

What makes Taxify easy to use is its mobile application, which allows passengers to see taxi drivers’ positions on an interactive map, and thus makes hailing a taxi cab very easy.

Also, when people use Google Maps on their smartphone not only can they see Taxify as an optional way of transport among others (tram, bus and trolley lines), but the app also predicts an estimated cost of the service, shows the driver’s exact location and the predictable time of arrival. To make payments, easier passengers can transfer money by credit card, which makes a good impression, especially among smartphone app-users.
