Cab Receipt India
Taxi Receipt IndiaI was asked very polite on my handy. Nobody regards the publication of their number as an "invasion of privacy" - given the omnipresent character of cellular telephone adoptions. Well, we figured the guy would call when he got here. I got even more: An text messaging promptly came in to describe the fundamental lease in about 3-4 line text.
The taxi rider then phoned and phoned again to say that he was outside at the appointed hour (16:00). Those repetitive affirmations and reconfirmations gave me the feeling that the taxi firm might want to prevent discontent and argumentation from customers. Finally, taxi drivers' argument is a worldwide phenomena and the very low costs of mobile telephones make it really rewarding for the taxi business to reconfirm things.
Anyway, after a great night when we only had to call the cab driving guy to be fetched by the rather overcrowded road in front of the Golconda Fort, we came back. At the beginning, the chauffeur had shown me the device that tracked the driving times in minute and the distances in kilometres. Now we were paying the chauffeur and when he asked for a receipt, the cab owner had a somewhat stunned look but still gave us a print straight from the cab.
I just got a peep from my mobile just now....... That taxi receipt was a text message. Congratulating taxi operator Chenna Reddy with a real wow, he gave me a nice little grin that I thought was a nice little grin and said, "What kind of world are you from? Not only was the big event the reception by text message, but also the casualness of the taxi drivers to this big technological jump in Hyderabad, India.
