Security cameras – Taxi service

Bracknell Taxi

Whenever I take a cab, I always note down the taxi number and text it to my best friend, who already knows what sending this number means. This is one of the primitive techniques of taking taxi, in case something goes wrong, start tracking from the taxi number. Everyone who requires taking taxi wants a safe ride. But there are situations where driver needs to be protected as well. One of the best ways to ensure the protection of passengers and driver is to install the camera in taxi. Wokingham taxi service has installed cameras in their cars.

It all started with cameras in cop cars, for their protection and to reduce crime. Due to the fact that cabs are more secure with cameras installed. Now all the taxi service companies are adopting this trend and installing cameras in their taxis. Now people are installing cameras in their own private cars, I mean, how would you explain all those freaky road videos on YouTube? Although the main purpose is security.

Crowthorne taxi service providers, they inform you about camera in the cab before you take the ride. Sometimes there is some sort of warning sign to make sure that passenger is well aware of the face that there is camera installed. Usually over the car window, a logo or in written to tell customer that car has been monitored all the time.

Sometimes, there is no camera in taxi, not the real one, but warning sign or the fake camera is there, just to prevent the crimes, it actually does help but not when the real crime event occurs. Basically it lowers the probability of occurrence of crime.

Some people think that with camera inside the cab, there is no privacy, but if you think, there is always a camera in elevator, place where you work, school, malls and anywhere you go. So there is no point of privacy concerns if you are in public. Secondly, no one looks inside these tapes unless there is a need to, like in the situation of crime. Because most people who take the taxi are on date, after party, tanked up etc and want it to stay private.

Bracknell Taxi implemented security measure to show their drivers/employees that they are taking care of them which adds value to company. Firstly the drivers feel safe, and they also know that they have to work with all their honesty and transparency, and they will also have a fear of losing job. Good payments over better performance through monitoring which eventually motivates the drivers for far better performance and make platinum cars the best taxi service in town.

GPS for taxi service

Bracknell Taxi

The whole idea of taking directions and driving has been changed with one GPS, the global positioning system. With this navigation system technology, you no longer required keeping complicated map in your car, you don’t need to remember or write down the directions to the place you are going. I remember, we were looking for a particular restaurant but it took us 20 minutes and all that time we were looking at the wrong place, all we had to do was turn around and go back to previous street. We might have wasted some time if we did not use GPS maps in phone.

Wokingham Taxi service has implemented this GPS technology in their vehicles. GPS gives you’re your exact location and you can mark where you need to go, it will give you all the directions you need. The time it will take for you to get there by car or walk. GPS has several benefits which makes it’s a best tool or a feature for taxi service.

Monitoring

It’s not that you can’t trust your drivers or make them feel that, but for the reason that taxi might get stolen and tracking it down will be easier if GPS is installed in it. And also, if your driver stops at some place for hour or two during the duty hour, you will know.

Split second information

Crowthorne taxi service is taking advantage of this service. One of the greatest advantage you can get by installing GPS system to in all your taxis is, well traffic situation and weather is never constant, it keeps changing, and with GPS you can easily track down which taxi is available and close to customer. In this way you can be quick about your services, and give an idea of your efficient services to your passengers.

Better Service

GPS provides you almost accurate information, not 100% but yes 90-95% accurate. When you provide this accurate information to passengers, they trust this information. And you can inform them about how much time it will take for them to get to their desired destination. They don’t have to sit and wait for driver, nor do they have to worry about how they are going to get there in time. Bracknell taxi is efficiently using GPS service. In GPS, you can add the current location and place where you need to go and it will give you several route options to choose from and the time it will take for each route, if routes are available. Advancement in GPS technology updates you about the traffic conditions and delays which help you choose alternative routes.

Money saving

Save money by locating and sending the closest available driver save time, save cost (on fuel). Effectively track and calculate the mileage of your taxi. If you have GPS in your vehicle, the insurance companies will give you a cut-down on their rates. 

Staff issues – Taxi service

Crowthorne Taxi

Starting a taxi service business doesn't mean hiring drivers only; it also includes more operational employees. Managers, HR, finance control officer, sales and support personals, drivers, mechanics and many more for one taxi service company.

Wokingham taxi service has their standard mechanism of hiring and managing employees. With all these employees, one thing that you need to understand is that they have a clear idea that they don’t own the company and in most cases, not getting fixed pay or benefits, and probably do not work with full concentration and energy, and chances are that they might now care about where your business is going unless it’s going straight up and they are getting good amount in percentage. Keep things exciting for employees, make list of achievable targets, and give incentives. Incentives can be in the form of cash but not limited to that, some people are motivated with recognition. Some companies announce employee of the month, or promotion/upgrading solution.

When you hire a driver (who is the essence of your business) look for ones who are respectful and friendly. Crowthorne cab service is more focused towards training. Training them for helping customers in any way they can is must. Some drivers do not talk to passengers or help them with their luggage (not get good tip though) but get bitter by day. What you need to do is, keep them happy, understand and realize their value.

Although your employees are not your friends or family, but you must maintain a friendly environment, show them that you value your employee, remember the important events like birthdays and anniversaries etc. Act like a boss when needed, but stay friendly and encourage your staff to be friendly so they can talk to you about whatever is bothering them, it is one way of getting productive and constructive feedback from your employees.

There is chance of possible reassignment among few employees if they think that they are doing all the hard work and making you rich and still getting not worth of their effort they put in. best solution for that kind of problem is the iterative and continues feedback and evaluation of staff and operations/processes.

Another idea that Bracknell taxi service follow is to provide better working environment to your employees. Create better working conditions for the employees so they are willing to work happily, motivated by incentives and recognition, and never want t leave the job. Again, your employee will treat the customer the way you treat your staff, gold for gold and sand for sand. Not the gold literally, but yes, take good care of your employees and your customers will be happy.
