A new way to Travel: Tagxe.com

Tagxe.com is a website that prides itself as a hybrid form of transportation. A combination of the cheap but slow buses and the fast but expensive taxis.

Tagxe is created as a hybrid form of public transportation. What this means is that like buses, people going to the same destination share the same vehicle. But because this is a taxi, you can get off near where you live. Also the taxi travels very fast because there are no unnecessary stops and a taxi is legally
allowed to go up to 90kmh

Personally (the Fad boy) feels that such a platform has been lacking and it has been about time someone did something like this!

From the website, you will be able to find out how to go about getting your first "shared" tagxe ride. In the forums, you will be able to find postings by others looking for tagxe mates.

Well, a interesting point is the effort they made to have a "fair" form of splitting the fare.

Above is just a simple summary. On the website you can find out the complicated methodology and the research done. (i can't believe there are websites just on splitting fares!)

Finally, what is in it for YOU?

1. Save time (every little mins counts.. an hr a day, 15 days a yr and so on..)

2. Meet new and interesting pple (perhaps find love? but hopefully not a stalker..)

3. Save 75% off your fare (This IS the most important!)

but more importantly, they are in the early stages of the business (new startup like Fad!!).. Go to their blog and sometimes you get some pretty nice deals! like the following...

FREE taxi rides! In exchange for selling out encouraging your friends to use the service. Not a bad deal given that my taxi ride from Home to Sch cost an average of $15!!!

Go check out the website, use it if you find it interesting (remember you saw it a the Fad people).. Share with us your experience with the "interesting" people you met. And if we happen to use the service, we will share ours too!
