This app will find you someone to share a taxi with

"Excuse me, is someone seating here?" is a question you might be asked soon in the most unlikely of places — inside a taxicab. A new app called Pair Taxi wants to make taxis in the Central Business District more accessible during peak hours by matching up to three commuters to one taxi.  "Commuters keen on sharing a cab can use the app to select a pick-up point from about 20 taxi stands in the CBD. For a match to happen, they must board from the same taxi stand," reports Today. We're not clear about the math involved but the app will be in charge of splitting the fare among passengers. It's supposed to be a win-win situation for both passengers and drivers: each passenger's share should amount to less than if she had taken a cab on her own, while the driver collects more than the usual. That is why the app has a function for drivers who can check the demand at each CBD taxi stand."Apple and Android users can download the app within the next two to three months, when it enters a two-week pilot phase. During this period, some 300 cabbies will test the app on two taxi stands in the CBD," adds the report. Photo (for illustration purposes only): Wikipedia
