Free Johor Cab app launched
JOHOR BARU: Malaysian Association of Taxi/Limousine Drivers and Operators and Car Rental Operators (Petekma) Johor branch launched a new smartphone application called Johor Cab on Saturday in a bid to offer better service to the public.
The smartphone application, developed in collaboration with Taxi Monger Sdn Bhd, is the first product offered by Petekma Johor for users in the state.
Johor Petekma chairman Jefry Jaafar said with Johor Cab, users only need to download the application into their smartphones to enjoy the free service.
"With Johor Cab, users can hail a taxi or rental car quickly. When the caller books a taxi, the taxi driver's personal details will be displayed on the smartphone," he said.
Jefrey was speaking after launching the smartphone application held in conjunction with the association's annual general meeting.
Jefrey said he hoped the application could bring a positive impact and transform the public transport in Johor.
Taxi Monger business development officer Zairolhamisam Mohamed Rani said similar applications have already been introduced in several locations including Kuala Lumpur, Klang Valley, Seremban and Penang.
"The applications can be used by Android and iPhone users. The response is favourable.
"For instance, in the Klang Valley alone, 40,000 users have already subscribed for the service.
"In Johor, Taxi Monger will work with the Senai International Airport as it is one of the popular destinations," he said.
Also present were Mohammad Khairi A. Malik, the political secretary to the Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin and Petekma president Mohd Syahrir Abdul Aziz .
