Taxonomy

Tell everyone where you are.

Not only do you get to track your progress on your phone, you get to share it with your friends. No more "where are you?" texts, no more worrying that no-one knows where you are.

Check in before you arrive.

While you're in the taxi, make use of that dead time and enter your Foursquare checkin details. Don't worry, we won't check you in until you arrive at your destination.

Get a cab before you even leave home

Taxonomy will soon be able to make an instant booking with the private car service nearest you. No more standing on the corner of a freezing street at 3am.

Find out where. When. And how much.

Use Taxonomy's search engine to find your destination by name. It will return you meaningful street intersections to pass onto your taxi driver- they might not know where "129 East 15th Street" is, but they'll be able to take you to "15th Street and Irving Place" no problems.

No more guessing how long it'll take

Our route planner is custom built to be able to take into account New York traffic- and it will use data provided by other Taxonomy users as they travel to calculate which streets are the fastest.

Oh, and it'll work out how much the trip is likely to cost you. Handy.

Be generous. But accurate.

Let's face it- the tip calculators in NYC taxis aren't great. Some operate totally different to others, and you can't use them at all if you're paying cash. So Taxonomy has one. Use it as a guide to make tipping a lot less awkward.

Split the cost with your friends

Once you've got your total, you want to know how much everyone owes. Simple: we've got a fare splitter that allows you to take your total and divide it up. Even better- if you use Venmo you can instantly and automatically bill your friends for their share of the ride. No need to mess around with cash ever again.

Don't use Venmo? More payment methods are coming soon to let you pay and split the cost with your friends.

We've all had bad taxi rides. Now you can do something about it.

New York City keeps tracks on its taxi drivers, and now you can too. We use the City's data to track each trip according to who is driving- so you can tell everyone how your trip went.

Was the driver polite? Did they take you the right way? Share a review so that we can pick out the best and worst of NYC taxi cab drivers.
