Saturday, Nov. 15th, Easy Taxi celebrated its anniversary in a rather different way. Easy Taxi Nigeria partnered with Bestman Games to create a live event where participants explored different fun locations within the city of Lagos in real time. Teams of five which comprised of male and female enthusiasts which included the Nigerian brand ambassador for safety, Zainab Balogun and Cool FM OAP Kaylah Oniwo rode around Lagos in easy taxis, exploring different locations and landmarks within the city. The teams during the course of exploring the city of Lagos in an Easy Taxi, completed small challenges which also involved making use of the application by requesting for an Easy Taxi to convey them to their next stop. This showcased the different uses of the smartphone application and various fun spots and landmarks to visit in Lagos; this includes The Lagos Yacht Club, Freedom Park, Lekki Leisure Lake and so many others. At the end of the very successful event, one team was victorious with highest points earned for effortlessly using the application to get to four different destinations and completing activities in-between.

Commenting on this milestone, Bankole Cardoso, the CEO of Easy Taxi Nigeria said “We are very proud of what we have accomplished within a year of operations in Nigeria. And although we’ve had our fair share of challenges, we’ve also made a huge impact and progress since inception.

Easy Taxi raises the bar on taxi booking apps with recent iPhone upgrade which includes better interface and improved features.

Lagos, Nigeria – 13th October 2014 – Easy Taxi, the world’s largest taxi booking app, has introduced a slew of new features to support a fully intergrated user experience in the most recent version of its app. The move is the latest from the global taxi booking company as the app wars go beyond the physical taxi space.

A taxi can be a very convenient way of getting from one location to another and it can also be very convenient as it takes away the stress of having to look for the perfect parking spot or worry about who the designated driver will be after a long day or night. However, taxis can also leave you with a very bitter taste in your mouth when you make the wrong taxi choice. Easy Taxi advises on a few tips to follow when looking to get a great taxi experience.


1. Know Your Destination

Before you start your rides for the day, ensure you have a clear idea of where you are heading to and if you are new in the city, take note of landmarks around the areas you will be visiting. Knowing your destination will not only be beneficial to you, it will also help your driver efficiently and effectively get you to your destination in good time. Most drivers however, are very good with locations and know how to maneuver the city by using alternative routes especially if you are trying to avoid the traffic ridden routes. However, if you are not comfortable with the alternative routes, be sure to express your concerns to your driver and request that he sticks to the route of your choice.


2. Take Note of Your Taxi’s Credentials

Always ensure you are equipped with the details of the driver who will be taking you to your choice location and also save the plate number of the vehicle, write it on a piece of paper or save the data in your cellphone. Information like these are very helpful in many cases where valuable belongings are left in the taxi, the vehicle and the driver can easily be located through these details.


3. Check the doors

As easy as this seems to remember, this is one precautionary measure that can be easily overlooked. Do not forget to check and ensure the doors to the taxis are locked once you are seated in the vehicle, to avoid possible outside interferences or danger.


4. Be Alert

Be alert for reckless driving i.e speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol and any other mannerisms that could make you uncomfortable and ensure to speak up if you feel you are at risk. Your taxi ride should be a nice experience and not a scary ride.



5. Use A Taxi From A Reputable Firm

Flagging down a taxi is not recommended, use taxis from reputable firms e.g. Easy Taxi, a taxi request service which is available to smartphone users and allows you hail a cab from the comfort of your location. This saves you the time and energy involved with hailing a cab from the road side and also reduces the risk of you using an unlicensed vehicle.
