Best From Expats

      Another great option for riding a cab in NYC…

      The Way 2 Ride app makes paying for your cab ride easier and faster. Download the app and sign up (enter your name, phone, credit card, amount of tip and the way you'd like to receive your receipt). When you are in the cab just check-in in the monitor by approaching your phone to the screen (and it will capture a sound, just like Shazam and SoundHound) or by entering in the phone the code that is shown in the monitor. At your destination, when the cab driver presses the end of ride button, the payment is quickly processed and the receipt emailed to you (or printed if this was your option when you signed up).  

      Soon it will be possible to electronically hail a cab too in the same app (as in the apps Hailo and TaxiMagic, that I've written about here).

      I tried for the first time today and recommend it!
