Cab4Now to launch the first social app to match passengers and drivers

Cab4Now is now inviting private hire and taxi drivers in for an alpha launch of the first social app to match passengers and drivers. Cab4Now first entered the London minicab industry in 1983. Today, he is a self employed private hire driver and taxi proprietor.

Company car driver or owner driver? Taxi driver anywhere?

Cab4Now will initially supplement your existing source of work. One day it might be the only source you need if you’re a private hire driver. Whether you’re empty or not simply keep Cab4Now running in the background on your smartphone. Self employed private hire company car drivers, private hire owner drivers and taxi drivers are all welcome.

It’s free. Subscribe now and chat to other drivers

Right now this app is not available to be used by passengers to book a taxi. First we need drivers. In the meantime you’ll be able to chat to other drivers and be the first to get passengers near you for free when the beta launches. Both hackney and private hire drivers are welcome.

Cab4Now is launching on Android

I chose Android because of the number of different handsets available which will suit everyone. You can buy an Android smartphone for less than £100.  The iPhone app will launch in 2012. Register now even if you don’t have either. Because you will soon!

Register now!

Choose a good user name, enter your email and mobile. You’re done. This will also be the user name to log in to the Cab4Now app and will be visible to passengers. Please use capital letters where appropriate. It can’t be changed later so spend a moment on it I’m Cab4Now. Nicer than cabfornow?

We are currently making a series of films asking something along the lines of: Is the working culture ruining our lives? or Are we wasting our lives at work?

Malta Car Import

UK Malta Car Imports

April 15th, 2013 Cab4Now

As Cab4Now.com readers know I have been reluctant to return to London to drive a minicab due to the significant downturn in earnings potential. This has led me to extend my travels throughout Asia for the last 6 months and I have now returned again to my main home in Malta.

The challenge before me is to know in which direction I wish to go. Should I return to Addison Lee? Or maybe become a private hire operator in London, Brighton or, even, Adur? Or maybe just buy an S Class Mercedes and get to work with Uber whilst renewing my old contacts and developing new ones in London and at all the airports.

All options, apart from the obvious, Addison Lee, represent a significant investment at a time in my life when I really am not sure that I want to build another business.

Taxi, minicab and private hire driving standards in London

February 16th, 2013 Cab4Now

Driving a taxi, minicab or private hire vehicle in London is a tough job. Driving a taxi, minicab or private hire vehicle safely and considerately for passengers, cyclists and other road users including pedestrians requires skill and anticipation to navigate the numerous hazards on every journey.

It is a credit to London’s largest private hire operator, Addison Lee, that not a single passenger has been injured in their history – ever! A surprising achievement considering that their self employed private hire drivers now complete up to 35,000 journeys daily and they commenced operation in 1975. So why are driving standards of London taxi, minicab and private hire drivers criticised so frequently on Twitter?
