Chicago’s cab companies are in uproar because of the market cornering of “ride sharing” apps such as Uber and Lyft. In recent times, the taxi service was being pushed to the brink of obsolescence because of the unregulated and potentially unsafe operation of said apps. In fact, if you have not yet heard, the novel lawsuit of taxi operators versus the city has already been filed. This already shows how big an impact unregulated businesses affect firmly-rooted taxi industries in Chicago. Cab companies are eager to fight back, though. To keep up with Uber and Lyft, cab companies, like your very own Universal Taxi, now turn to harnessing the power of the app to restore the balance.

A brand new Universal Taxi Dispatch app has been released. This fresh new offering promises top notch service, easy user interface, and premium safety features to all its users. There are many advantages to using this app. The app is compatible with most Android and iPhone versions, guaranteeing a large number of people will be able to use the app. A simple free download from the Google Play Store or iTunes App Store gives you access to all the features.
The app is very simple to use. Simply log in, book the best available taxi, and wait for your service to arrive. You get everything done with just a few clicks. There are plenty of in-app features that you can use for your convenience and peace of mind. You will get all relevant identification and information of the taxi while it is on its way to you. The app can use either your GPS location or a provided address for precise pick up. You can also monitor where your booked taxi currently is, all in real time and on a map. You can also make a call to your driver with a single click to ask for updates on traffic, for example.
