Easy Taxi Experiences Rapid Growth

Launches Thank you Campaign

Riyadh - Sunday, September 21st 2014 [ME NewsWire]

Easy Taxi, one of the world’s leading mobile taxi apps, is rapidly expanding its services in the Middle East. As the first app connecting trained and tracked drivers with passengers in the Gulf, Easy Taxi has experienced significant growth and demonstrated success in Jeddah, Riyadh, Bahrain, Jordan, and most recently Qatar and Kuwait.

Easy Taxi will soon launch its services in Dammam. In addition, it will offer a daylong promotion as part of its “Thank You” campaign on Monday, 22 September. This promotion allows passengers living in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain to avail discounted rides with Easy Taxi’s fast, efficient, and safe services. The promotion comes as an effort to show appreciation for the marked success of Easy Taxi services.

With the recently secured funding from “Mobily Ventures”, the Corporate Venture Capital arm of Mobily, additional locations are sure to open. 

Abdullah Hamad, an Easy Taxi customer from Saudi Arabia, said, “I love using the Easy Taxi App. My favorite feature is how the drivers always know where to pick you up because of the location system it uses- making it easy if you aren’t sure how to give proper directions.”

With safety and security in mind, the app also allows users to track their taxi, view the photo and details of the driver, and don’t need to wait for call centers or stand in lines.

Dr. Mahmoud Fouz, CEO of EasyTaxi Middle East, said, “Our services have become very popular for travelers, individuals, and businesses. We want to show our appreciation to our customers, so this Monday, we are offering a promotion as a way of saying thank you for using our services and supporting us as we continue to grow.”

On Monday, customers in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain can enjoy the following discounts per ride: Saudi Arabia, 10 SAR; and Bahrain, 1 BHD.

Passengers can download the Easy Taxi App that is available for Android, iOS, Blackberry, and Windows Phone devices, as well as for B2B clients through Easy Taxi Pro and Easy Taxi Corporate solutions.

Easy Taxi is backed by Mobily Ventures, iMena Holdings, and the Middle East Internet Group (MEIG).
