Booking a taxi via SMS

Good news for people who need a taxi in the Putrajaya and Cyberjaya areas as an SMS taxi service for taxis operating in Putrajaya and Cyberjaya was launched recently.

Under the service, passengers can ask for a taxi pick-up by sending their addresses to a message centre via the SMS number 33030. The SMS will then be recorded and a request sent out via radio to all the taxis in the vicinity.

If there is a taxi available, an SMS will be sent out to them informing them of their taxi number as well as the time it will need to reach their house or address. Only after the SMS has been sent out informing passengers of their taxi numbers, will the RM1 service charge be imposed.
