Ten years ago, people used to consider it a luxury to travel in a machine driven cab or taxi. The primary concern was the cost. The second reason was that they were not in plenty. The third reason was that they were difficult to approach. One had to walk long distances to reach a taxi stand etc.

But today a small device in your hand can be a solution to all these problems. All you need is a Taxi Booking App. The Taxi business is going to expand immensely in the coming years.

The indications are strong, for instance, just in India, which is known as a rickshaw favoring nation, the ICRA study shows a rise from 9% in 2016 to 15-17% in 2017 in cab sales.

this is irrelevant here (9ja)! You should post this stuff in an indian mainly forum. It has never been a luxury 10yrs ago (2009) or even 20 yrs ago to drive in a taxi! Infct it is a pain with taxi drivers squeezing more ppassengers in than the car was meant to carry - 4 in d back,2 in d front! Bus d same thing! The sweat nd b.o of unwashed passenger will b all over u! Luxury indeed or suffering
