For those who were wondering why Manila and the 3000 cabs. The reason they chose Manila is because of the potential it has and all the taxi drivers signed own their own cabs and are officially registered as cab drivers in the Philippines. They do not sign non official drivers.
That's true. I'm from Manila Philippines and we have a lot of cabs and taxi drivers here that they can hired for their services. Most of us also really like using these kinds of apps like to ubers and other similar companies.
That's really nice to see that Tachain wants to go with only registered drivers. But many other countries also do verification of drivers. So there must be some other benefits as well.
Most platforms use verification, thats alroght, but the rating system of TAChain seems more important to taxi users. I get to choose what taxi driver is the best available while the drivers would take care of the users to get a better rating.
Yes but according to the whitepaper the driver can also rate the passenger and that should be there too as some passengers can really be a pain.
Hope taxi drivers and passengers don't come to. Mutual agreement and give each other good rating. That will be drawbacks of this system.
I mentioned this earlier there might be flaws in the rating system here. I am looking for how they are going to fix this.
They need to track if there are two much incident where both taxi driver and passenger giving high ratings to each other's. Based on that they can take action.
Well both have to work for it. I don't think the passenger would be giving a good rating if his rate was terrible regardless of the reward. Just like how Uber is. Every driver strives to deliver the best riding experience some even give out cookies. My point is that there are easy means to get rating and cheating your way is not the best way about.
You mean to say taxi driver giving out cookies? Well there are many in my country including Uber, but there was no one giving away any kind of cookies or chocolates: (
tough luck mate; I've actually came across various who give away things. I would imagine tachain could do an incredible marketing if they gave drivers a branded items to give to passengers. I think this could be quite effective. It is a win win for both tachain and the driver.
Wow, if it can really happen that tachain can do extraordinary marketing, of course it will be progress, surely for tachain itself, I hope hopefully it can really happen and we will see it later to make it clearer
I don't accept cookies or chocolate from any stranger, but since Tachain is going to allow driver only after proper verification, I think I can take some cookies from them.
