MyTeksi comes to town
Network is aimed at helping to achieve the vision of providing an efficient transportation service in Iskandar Malaysia
MYTEKSI, the mobile taxi booking application, is now available in the southern state through a collaboration between MyTeksi Sdn Bhd, Perbadanan Pengangkutan Awam Iskandar Malaysia (PAIM) and Koperasi Permodalan Melayu Negeri Johor Bhd (KPMNJ).
"We are pleased to announce our partnership with PAIM which will further augment the existing integrated transportation system in Iskandar Malaysia.
MyTeksi's penetration into the Johor market will further boost our presence in Malaysia, as we prepare our next phase of growth to meet commuters' ever-increasing needs in today's fast-paced lifestyle," said MyTeksi Sdn Bhd general manager Adelene Foo, during the recent soft launch of MyTeksi in Iskandar Malaysia.
MyTeksi currently includes more than 2,000 registered taxis in the Klang Valley area.
In Iskandar Malaysia, MyTeksi is providing its services through an exclusive collaboration with PAIM, the corporation for public transport in the special economic zone.
Concurrently, MyTeksi is partnering KPMNJ to launch its taxi booking application to taxi fleet operators.
Said Foo: "Our strategic alliance with KPMNJ in Johor will see MyTeksi commencing its mobile taxi-booking services to an initial group of taxi drivers.
Moving forward, MyTeksi will actively touch base with other fleets through smart partnerships to further grow our network and connectivity.
Essentially, we will continue to focus on the key areas of speed, convenience and safety. Our promise to commuters is their being able to confirm their taxi booking with MyTeksi within one minute."
Utilising an application available for downloads via iPhones, iPads and Androids, the MyTeksi application allows commuters to book taxis in a fast, convenient and safe manner. A booking fee of RM2 applies.
"With Iskandar Malaysia three times the size of Singapore, an efficient transportation network is vital to its success," said Mohd Gadaffie Abd Aziz, the chief executive of PAIM and principal assistant director of Johor's Economic Planning Unit.
"The significant investment and business opportunities here in Iskandar Malaysia are expected to create thousands of jobs for both the locals and expatriates.
Our strategic partnership with MyTeksi today can help us achieve the vision of providing an efficient transportation service in Iskandar Malaysia which is projected to have a population of 3 million by 2025."
Upon launching the application, MyTeksi will automatically detect the commuter's current location using the smartphone's in-built GPS (Global Positioning System). The commuter then selects the desired destination, and nearby taxis will be shown.
After selecting the taxi, the commuter will receive a booking confirmation within one minute. Information such as estimated time of arrival, taxi plate number, driver's contact details, estimated fare and an option for tips will be prompted.
The commuter is then able to track the real-time location of the booked taxi.
As a safety feature, the Share My Ride tool on its application allows commuters' loved ones to track the location of their ride in real-time.
