"Having taxi booking services is an alternative for passengers," Mr Vitoon said. Apart from major players in the mobile taxi booking app industry, there are other choices such as taxi call centres and local software developers, altogether boasting 20 applications. Line will train taxi drivers to use the mobile app, earning revenue share from taxi booking fees. Thailand is the latest country where Line is offering taxi booking service, said a source at Line Thailand. The DLT also plans to introduce Taxi OK, its own mobile taxi booking app, by year-end.
