Flywheel gives taxi drivers an Uber-like app of their own

Flywheel's TaxiOS

Flywheel has helped drag taxis into the modern era through app-based hailing. However, that modernization usually stops in the cab itself — your driver’s gear is antiquated next to the phone-based tech in a Lyft or Uber car. Taxis are about to catch up, though. Flywheel has launched TaxiOS, a platform that replaces the dispatch, meter, navigation and payment systems with phone-based software. It not only streamlines the overall experience for both you and the driver (no matter how you’re paying), but marks the first instance of GPS-based metering in licensed taxis. In theory, you’re getting both a more accurate fare and fewer rude surprises.
