This new service will be on public trial from Friday 30 April (earlier trial on 26 April was shelved due to technical problem).
It will involve customers who hold a Starhub mobile phone. To get a taxi, use your Starhub mobile phone and send TAXI to 79797. The taxi booking fee is $1.50 (off peak hours) and $2.50 (peak hours). It is $1 cheaper than the normal type of booking.
If a taxi is available, you will get a SMS. The taxi driver will call you by mobile phone to ask for the pick up point. If no taxi is available for 10 minutes, you will be removed from the Queue, and a SMS will be sent to you.
Watch this video for an explanation of how the system operates. You can also visit this website. (About 100 taxis have registered for this service)
