Frequently Asked Questions

How does Droptaxi work?
Droptaxi allows customers request rides to take them to their destination using a phone. When a customer books a ride from Droptaxi rider app running on his phone, the request is recorded on a remote server running the Droptaxi server software. The automatic dispatch service of the Droptaxi server software which is always running on the server picks up the ride request and checks for the nearest driver to the customers pickup location. When a driver is found, a realtime notification is sent to the driver's phone running the Droptaxi driver app. The driver sees the notification and accepts the ride request. A notification is then sent to the customers phone running the Droptaxi riders app. The rider app displays information about the driver and how long it will take the driver to arrive. When the driver arrives, he notifies the customer through his app. The customer joins the driver and the driver starts the trip, he also notifies the customer through his app that the trip has started. When the driver reaches the customer's destination, he indicates the trip has completed on his app and a notification is sent to the rider indicating the end of the trip as well as the fare. The customer can either pay with cash or through the virtual wallet in his app. After the rider has paid for the trip, the company commision is deducted from the drivers app virtual wallet and the rest is paid to the driver.
