We want to tell you about A2B TAXI Online application that helps you to travel safely and pleasantly. Mobile apps also provide for customers to find drivers, make drivers must to manage their business more effectively.
Why A2B?
Our vision is to make commuters every day simpler and more reliable. Personal driver platforms, such as Uber or Lyft are becoming more popular in Europe. Therefore, licensed taxi drivers should not be prosecuted as before. The situation in the market is designed to connect customers with professional and accredited drivers directly. A2B will provide mobile applications for customers to find licensed drivers, as well as drivers to manage their business more efficiently.
Blockchain: the ultimate tool
All this can be prevented by using distributed ledger technology. And we are going to use!
it for a few good client-oriented reasons. All information about the trips will be kept there.
We will upload pricing and trip payment history into a distributed ledger, therefore driver
will not be able to cheat on client with the price. Also, all information about the journey will
be stored in distributed ledger as well. So, all routes and distances will be calculated fairly
and easier to check and clarify. All the access rights to the data will be managed on a public
blockchain.
Each and every client review will be also placed on the blockchain. Therefore, there won’t
be even a theoretical possibility to manipulate that information or conceal anything from
the new clients. Violations of road rules will be automatically taken from the respective
institutions and placed online. Clients will be able to make sure that the driver has driving
license, taxi license and also that driver was not fined for violating the road rules.
There will be all information about the taxi vehicles as well. Customers will see everything
about the accidents these cars were in, kilometres they ran, all service history and anything
that can have any importance for clients’ safety. So, if a car took part in an accident where
airbags were activated – client will see that and, if that would not fit the requirements, he/
she could choose other car.
Also state institutions will be able to get all information about pricing and accounting
records on blockchain as well. Local tax authorities will be able to check how much money
each driver earned and the procedure of tax accounting and payment could be simplified.
Drivers will have to open their data to be able to use A2B Taxi platform benefits.
We will use Civic for single sign-on, Enigma for scalable privacy and many other acclaimed
effective digital solutions, where feasible.
Tokenomics model
All information will be put on Ethereum and Qtum blockchains. It will be available for
the users. Data will not be kept in one place. One of the options is to keep them on IPFS.
Customers will be able to use the technology due to the integrated wallets on the platform.

Taxi industry in a nutshell
Taxi and ridesharing is considered as a very attractive way of commuting. According to the
study of International Road Transport Union conducted last year, the main advantages from
the point of view of the customers are the following:
• Around 80% of people are completely satisfied with the taxi trips they had;
• Taxis are involved only in 1% of road accidents in the biggest cities in Europe, given the fact that this
industry has around one tenth - one fifth of the overall traffic;
• Taxis are quite flexible, for example, as opposed to mainstream public transport (buses,metro,trains, etc.),
taxis are available 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.
However, new tendencies in the market, ridesharing to be exact, does not give clients the
needed transparency or undisputed trust. Uber, for example, does not allow their customers
to see whole information about the cars or drivers, who are ordinary people.
Therefore, it can be said that the liberation of industry brought not only the good things
and competition which leads to perfection but some issues as well. Lack of information or
inability to fully trust the driver, as he/she is not licensed and monitored one, forms a new
demand from the clients.
An officially trusted taxi company, which uses licensed automobiles and verifies its drivers
transparently would have a significant advantage against ridesharing services. A possibility to
use the same app in different countries already became a necessity. Therefore an opportunity
to make a benefit from using the app proved itself as an efficient marketing move as well.
Despite of the steady growth of popularity of various platforms for private drivers, they are
still unavailable in many European countries.
Current problems of taxi market
The platforms of private drivers like Uber or Lyft are becoming more and more popular in
Europe. Therefore, licensed taxi drivers no longer enjoy such a significant demand as they
did before.
Many of those platforms hire non-professional drivers who drive unlicensed cars. It leads
to a chance that these cars are technically inappropriate ones. These businesses have taken
the advantages of some legal loops which allow them to avoid difficult and expensive
procedures, necessary for high-quality taxi services.
However, despite the fact that private driver services are usually cheaper than the accredited
taxi, it is not necessarily a better choice. The lack of background check of the private drivers
can even harm this business and make it less attractive to customers. Sometimes it even
ends as an incident between a client and a driver, initiated by the latter one. And companies
not always report that.
It is not a secret that the payment rate of Uber drivers is rather low in comparison with most
unqualified jobs and not even comparable to traditional taxi companies. This is due to the
fact that huge tax rates are taken by the company in order to make the prices lower for the
customers.
All these circumstances lead to a situations where customer lose money and is not satisfied
with the service. It includes drivers cheating on clients and taking longer routes because
of the pricing, unreliable drivers who are not qualified to provide service for people or the
ones who tend to violated road rules. The so-called loopholes in the laws let ridesharing
companies not to pay some taxes and to bring drivers who use insecure unlicensed cars.
