Why Complain About Uber When They Are Doing Their Best!

Written by JC

If you’ve never hear about the Uber on-demand car service before, I’ll let you into a little secret. This company makes being able to get from A to B as easy as possible. No more waiting for buses that don’t turn up on time, heading down into less than savory subway stations or standing in the rain trying to hail a taxi that speeds by leaving a trail of wet spray in its path.

In recent years the Uber on-demand car service has gone high tech like a lot of other companies, and it’s now even easier to get a ride wherever you are, and whatever time of day it is.

How Uber Works

The first thing you need to do is pay a visit to their website and sign-up for an account. This couldn’t be easier and once done, you can download the app to your mobile device. Incidentally, if you think you need to reach for your wallet at this stage, thing again! This app is available for free from Google Play Store, the Apple App Store and BlackBerry App World.

When you’re ready to use the service, there are several different types of taxi you can opt for and these include, black car, UberX, SUV, LUX and of course your everyday taxi. However, do bear in mind it depends on what city you’re in so you may not get all the options.

Once you’ve selected the type of car you want, simply enter your location and the app will do the rest. Using GPS detection, Uber will find the nearest driver to your location and you don’t have to worry about staring at your phone because they will send you a text when your ride is on its way.

Pricing

Uber couldn’t be more transparent about the way they fix the pricing. If you know your destination, you can easily get a quote for the cab ride before you even book anything. You also don’t need

Unlike traditional dispatch system providers where you purchase or lease all the equipment and train the staff to use it, CCSi offers full-service, turnkey reservation, dispatch and back office services by providing computer hardware, software and personnel.  A typical CCSi client takes advantage of the following services:

Call Taking – CCSi staff handles all incoming telephone calls, enters new reservations and looks up information about existing reservations using CCSi’s own best in class, Microsoft Windows based, VB.NET software.  CCSi’s software is fully integrated with its telephone switch.  The result is 100% guarantee that the fleet that owns the telephone number called by the customer receives the reservation.  Using customer’s telephone number, CCSi software displays the customer’s address and any special instructions if the customer has called us before.  The software alerts the CSA if a reservation has been entered from the same address or telephone number within the past hour to prevent duplicate trips and also to expedite callback handling by displaying the map showing the customer’s pickup address, the location of the vehicle assigned to the customer and the distance between the two points.  It is not unusual for CCSi customers to call back and be told by the CSA to look outside and to their amazement they see a taxi pulling up.  CCSi has developed and is currently using IVR technology to allow bars/restaurants and hotels to reserve taxis without speaking with a CSA.  Another application, called Auto CSA, intercepts customers who are on hold and have previously called CCSi and gives them a choice to place their reservation for the address their phone number is associated with without speaking with a CSA.  We also provide taxi reservation services through RideCharge web and iPhone reservations, through SMS texting from cell phone via GoFastCab.com and through CCSi’s own SMS short code (469222, www.4MyCab.com) and smart phone apps.
