New Price Comparison Booking App

The taxi industry released a new colourful service that will give consumers access to discount hail options plus a name your own price booking alternative.

The Destarny app shows a sweeping price comparison while clearly displaying current market demand (surge). Also unlike other apps the surge rate can move in both directions or below the standard X1.0 rate.

During certain periods the Destarny Service will allow consumers to hail a cab —instantly — at a rideshare rate. The service availibility is identified by a yellow roof sign and customers will just need to hail the vehicle and scan on with the app.
