Chester residents can book taxis by text soon

Link: Chester Evening Leader – A North Wales Newspapers Title.

CUSTOMERS of a taxi company in Chester will soon be able to book cabs by text message.

Abbey Taxis is the first company in the city to offer the service although Chester’s other big mini-cab firm, King-Kabs, has had the technology for a while.

Few companies across the North West have yet to introduce it although Town Taxis in Rochdale has been using it with some success.

Customers text the company’s number with the details of the pick-up, then the company texts back confirmation. Abbey’s text service should be running from May 1.
