HAILO! Arrives In Singapore
Hailo is now available to taxi drivers, passengers and local businesses.
Since its launch in London in 2011, Hailo has helped reduce the daily frictions of big city travel, winning it millions of fans and over 23,000 five star reviews in the App Store and Google Play.
The simple app helps people get a cab in minutes with just two taps on their smartphone while seamless mobile payments vastly improve the taxi experience by eliminating the need to carry cash or stop at an ATM. Trip receipts are sent instantly by email.
The announcement of the app’s arrival follows Hailo’s recent partnership announcement with transportation operator SMRT. In agreeing to work together, Hailo and SMRT share a common vision to create an inclusive platform that provides equal access and benefits for all of Singapore’s taxi companies and their drivers. Hailo Singapore confirmed today that fleet operator Prime Taxi has joined with SMRT to support the new Hailo is available to passengers as a free download from the App Store and Google Play.
What’s In It For The Consumer?
Taxi booking apps in recent times have gained popularity with the users in Singapore, as they claim the ease of use and relatively good response time, and with the arrival of Hailo in an already competitive taxi app landscape coupled with the fact that Singapore has one of the biggest numbers of taxis as well as taxi users, as well as competitively priced booking rates that are likely to be adjusted downwards as competition heats up, this can only bode well for the consumer.
