It calculates the price of a cab, based on loads of factors, it's the only one on the market that allows to price it based on Distance, Postcode-to-Postcode and Fixed Price Locations (which factor in an area, so if you're outside the area, it's like getting a cab to the pick up and _then_ the fixed price (or the journey in reverse).
It allows
- Different car types, and price modifers based on that.
- Calling a place something else, like "Cock and dragon pub" to be "[address for that pub]"
- Modify the price based on the time of the day.
- Keyword searching with questions, such as you could have the Keyword being "airport" and ask the question "What is your flight number?" and "What terminal are you at?"
- Information about the cars, and include price modifiers for that, such as "Air con".
- Request specific drivers or display information about a specific driver.
- No pre-registration required for general users
- iPhone and Android WebApp in the pipeline
- Using GoogleMaps to get locations, so it would accept "99 Chase Side, N14", "99 Chase Side Southgate" or even things like "London Eye".
- [the thing that inspired the thread, that I'm adding] Allowing of putting in something like "Italian Resturant in Southgate" to get all the italian resturants in southgate.
- Admin to change all the factors.
