Cabs or taxi means a lot for the people who are standing by the roadsides in the scorching heat, emergency situation, or drenching rain, praying for a single taxi to stop. For them a cab booking app is heaven. Thanks to the taxi booking applications that people are finding it easier to travel to their desired places.
Do you have a taxi business? Do you like to bring your business to your fingertip? The best way to do so is by creating a taxi booking application for your
professional application development of taxi booking apps is not only convenient for the passengers, but also for the drivers, and admins. However, there are some marketers who failed to reach the success due to less awareness about these applications.
Are you having the same problem? Don't worry. Here in this blog, we have mentioned the essential features that you need to implement in your
custom web application.
Let us discuss them in details.
A taxi-booking app normally stands up in three pillars. Passenger app, driver app, and an admin app. And all these apps have their own features and aspects.
For Passenger app
As the name suggests, this particular app is made for the passengers to book a cab, track a cab, or make online payments. Hence, the user interface of this application has to be user-friendly.
1. Sign Up/Login: This is the most prominent feature that needs to be included so that passengers can register on the applications or log in to use it. Inclusion of email or social media option will help the user to sign-in to the application.
2. Tracking: The next thing for this
custom web application is by allowing the passenger to track the taxi route. This provides assurance to the passenger that the cab is on the way and the driver is destined to the proper route.
3. Calculator: Calculator allows the rider to calculate the cost estimate from the pickup location to the desired destination. The fare of a ride is calculated on the basis of distance, type of ride, type of car, type of weather, and traffic.
4. Payment: Payment options allow the passengers to make their payment using a credit card, cash, app wallet, and many other digital options. The payment is done either at the beginning of the travel or at the end. You must also include pay with cash option so as to ease the payment method for the riders.
5. Rating and Review: Rating and review option allow the traveler to choose the best drive for their travel. This is for the passenger. Furthermore, the reviews help the drivers or the owners to improve their service and determine the performance.
Driver App
The driver app is more or less the same as the passenger app. But there are certain things that make the difference.
1. Register: This particular feature allows the drivers to register the applications using their profile. This profile consists of the number of years of experience, driving license, desired schedule for work etc.
2. Booking: Booking feature allows the driver to accept or deny the incoming booking as per their convenience. This is done basically with respect to the customer location, destination, or that based on the previous history.
3. Navigation: A Custom web application for taxi booking must have the navigation feature in their app. This offers guidance to the driver to navigate the entire route to the destination. In this case, Google maps or GPS technology is used to serve the purpose.
4. Reports: Report have detailed information regarding the cost incurred during the day, idle time spent, customer experience, and other travel related matters. This report is sent to the administration.
Admin App
Admin app is completely different from the above two. The features include:
1. Vehicle Management: Same as the
professional website development, the mobile application must have vehicle management feature. The admin panel allows the administration to manage the vehicles running in the city. They find whether the vehicles are available for booking or are already engaged.
2. Complaint Management: Complaint management feature is meant for both the passengers and for the drivers. This particular feature must be included in the app you are about to build, if you are desiring to seek customers attention.
3. Tracking: Tracking feature in the admin app is the same as the passenger app, where the administrators can track the vehicle, without even contacting them. This reduces the time consuming, unnecessary cost, and other hurdles.
All these applications are coded on languages like Java Kotlin, Swift, React Native etc. We use the PHP MVC framework, named Codeigniter, the best open source software to develop the web applications for our clients.
Why we use Codeigniter? Codeigniter is considered the best open source PHP frameworks used in
custom application development as it pays more attention to the project, minimizing the length of the code needed for the given task. In comparison to other frameworks, this particular software is fast, easy to implement, time-effective, and highly reliable.
