1. About Taxi-Webdesign.com

Founded by a small team of former taxi-fleet operators and software engineers, Taxi-Webdesign.com exists for one reason: to eliminate the headaches taxis face when outdated radios, clipboards, and generic ride-share apps collide.

Since 2014 we've worked with 400+ fleets across 38 countries—traditional cabs, hybrid PHV operators, luxury car services, airport transfer specialists, even tuk-tuk co-ops. Our mantra is simple:

1. Listen to the operator (because every city has unique rules).
2. Build tech that fits the workflow—not the other way around.
3. Scale smoothly so you never re-platform again.
