Ixigo Introduces 1-Tap Booking Feature


BENGALURU: Ixigo, a Gurgaon-based travel search engine has recently launched an innovative trait on their cab-booking app enabling customers to book the nearest taxi by just tapping a button on their mobile phone—discounting the need for stable internet connectivity. The company has claimed that the cab-booking app will work in zero internet coverage areas or without GPS accessibility. The app is compatible for spots, where there are a number of taxis waiting for passengers, such as railway stations, airports and nightclubs at closing time, reports Hindustan Times.

To start the 1-tap on ixigo cabs, the customer simply requires activating the option from the menu. This further crafts an icon on the user’s home display for convenience. After the booking process, ixigo cabs app will discover the nearest taxi from any of its associate operators, which includes Ola, TaxiforSure, EasyCabs, and Jugnoo to corroborate the booking process—offering a pleasant ride for the users. Adding to these benefits, the app also notifies the users, before starting their trip by forwarding an alert about the approximate time of their whole journey.

In addition, ixigo’s cab-booking app records the address of the user, during the time of its installations on their phones and comprehends customer’s location by interpreting their SMSs. The app also depends on other factors such as most recently booked site, residence or workplace, network position from operators and others to successfully understand the current location of its users. The app with its unique feature is currently available on Android devices.
