Ixigo, a travel search app has announced the launch of “1-Tap Cab Booking” on the ixigo cabs app that allows booking the nearest available cab in one tap of a button on the user’s home screen.
Currently available for Android, 1-Tap Cab Booking will work even in places without a stable internet connection, such as airports, railway stations, bus stations and even while the user is en-route to his destination.
ixigo uses a combination of intelligence about the user’s location through existing PNR confirmations on a user’s phone and SMSes for when the internet connection doesn’t work to seamlessly book a cab for the user.
ixigo cabs app also intelligently prompts the users prior to their journey to the station or airport and also when they have just landed or are about to reach, claims the company.
