HCM CITY (Biz Hub) — Malaysia-based taxi-booking mobile app company Grabtaxi continued its expansion plan in Viet Nam with the launch of its trial service in Da Nang City on June 3, after its success in HCM City and Ha Noi.

In Da Nang, Grabtaxi has signed co-operation agreement with Phu Hoang Transportation and Service Joint Stock Company, the owner of Tien Sa Taxi with more than 700 new model cabs, to deploy the services.

Nguyen Van Hien, representative of Tien Sa Taxi, said: "We realise that both customers and drivers benefit from the service. Applying GPS technology to choose the nearest taxi will help reduce customers' waiting time and enable drivers to reduce costs and increase earnings."

The mobile app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store to smartphones and tablets with the iOS and Android operating systems. — VNS
