Shared taxi mobility service
NTT DATA is seeking for partners who can provide solutions to enhance the shared taxi business model to improve multimodal mobility services in the city. Shared taxi mobility service can come in many forms, we would like a focus on the "colectivo" solution: a shared taxi regulated service with specific named routes that go from A to B.
Challenges faced today: passengers need to go to point A as the
taxi will not leave until it has 4 passengers onboard, the probability of ride on along the route is minimal; the taxi driver has no information about demand, payment is in cash only, there is no integration with other transit modes, .the user has no information about the service and nor clue of ETA or availability of space, there is no booking, etc, etc, etc

- Shared taxi is a key mobility service in the country as it covers the needs of passengers not covered with the bus/metro route offering and cannot afford a full taxi service. Improving the service can help improve the life of many people who rely on this transit mode in their regular life
- Market size of collaboration business or business scale
- We estimate that there are about 5,000 trips/day in shared taxis in the country. An increase in productivity of 40% could raise the market in 20 million USD yearly
NTT DATA offers the entepreneurs the possibility to develop solutions (based on API) on top of an integration platform with capabilities to integrate transit modes, maps, mobility services, promotions, billing, etc. This platform is up an running in the city of Viena an can be deployed in other cities
