Dubai: Taxi passengers may soon be able to book movie tickets, check in for a flight or check out the latest offers and deals on the go if Dubai Taxi Corporation’s smart taxi pilot project is successful.
Five of the high tech taxis are undergoing road trials. If successful, the system will go live across Dubai Taxis from 2013.
The smart taxis are equipped with interactive ‘infotainment’ LCDs that provide customers with access to the internet, important government services and smart advertisements.
