Hailo Lets You Hail a Cab All Over the World
While ridesharing apps like Uber and Lyft have gained significant momentum, the most common way for most people to get a ride in a major city is still an old-fashioned yellow cab. There is still a way to use technology to make it easier for people to find a ride even when they want to take a taxi. Cool product Hailo is a mobile device that allows users to hail cabs with their smartphones or tablets. Rather than calling a taxi company and potentially ending up on hold for a long time, people can just open up their phones and tap away to call a ride right away with Hailo. This cool product wants to erase the uncertainty of trying to find a cab on the street. The app lets people call cabs specifically for them, rather than hope to catch taxis that are simply passing by the area. Hailo wants to revolutionize the urban transportation industry in order to get people service in an on demand capacity just as many other industries, such as remote computer support, have in recent years.
