As we enter into the mobile age, everything we do will soon be powered by that little device you bring along with you everyday. From checking the weather to scheduling your meetings, checking in to your favourite restaurants to calling a taxi, there is an abundant of apps available that can help you achieve what you want.

To help you navigate through the sea of mobile apps out there, we have compiled a handy list of taxi booking apps in Singapore:

Grab Taxi

Created by Malaysian company MyTeksi, customers can use GrabTaxi to book a cab either for an immediate pick-up or a scheduled ride. Once you launch the app, you are able to see how many drivers are nearby, and you are able to have a glance of the estimated fee of your cab ride. There’s also a booking history where you can track when did you take a cab. The app is also available in Philippines and Thailand.

Android App Installs: 100,000 – 500,000

Uber

If you are looking for an alternative to taxis, Uber Singapore allows you to book a black luxury private chauffeur at a premium price. The app functionality is similar to other apps: you set your pick up location, and a driver will be on his way to pick you up. You can also track where his location is.

The company recently added a new UberXL category into its fleet of luxury black cars, catering to the party goers as well as families.

For now, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has no issues with third-party booking apps — recognising the widespread use of smartphones — but it made clear that taxi drivers using these apps cannot collect fares which exceed what their companies have set.
