You Can Now Hail an Awami Taxi from Anywhere

Awami Taxi is a ride hailing service from Pakistan. The company believes in providing quality transportation with affordable pricing.

To stand out from the competition, any company needs to have a unique selling point. In this respect, Awami Taxi offers something that other ride hailing services do not.

Awami Taxi is a product of I and Zee Software Solutions SMC-PVT LTD, a Pakistani startup based in Islamabad.

Hop In Service

Awami Taxi’s Hop In service will make hailing your ride even more easier. With Hop In, Awami Taxi drivers can pick a ride from anywhere, while customers can hail a ride by spotting it, without any need to book it in advance.

For example, consider these scenarios:

• a person doesn’t have access to internet,
• their cell phone battery is dead,
• that person doesn’t have a smart phone.

If a customer faces any of these scenarios, there is no way they can use a ride hailing service normally.

But with Hop In service, Awami Taxi claims that it has a solution. If you have any of the above problems, you can still hail a ride with Awami Taxi.
