Recruitment of contractual partners

The first step is to find a comprehensive network in North and South Cyprus.

The history of taxi drivers goes back over 100 years and so nothing has really changed in Cyprus. Unlike anywhere else in the world, you won't be able to simply flag down a taxi on the street and get a lift to somewhere else.

The service is still an ordering system to this das. The latest technical system is now set to beam taxi drivers into the 21st century. The application has been launched. The new network is being set up soon.

The new AI technology is installed in the taxis

It will be a great leap for Cyprus if the taxi drivers receive a call from a new passenger in the immediate vicinity. So far, many drivers have returned empty-handed to their original destination.

This will now change as the system will direct any taxi driver who ist in the immediate vicinity of a taxi call directly to the next passenger via GPS. And a taxi can then be requested from any point in Cyprus.

Internet is available everywhere. Not only in the cities, but also in the countryside. Yes, the technology even works across the borders of the divided country.

Whether a taxi is allowed to cross the border or change to another taxi is determined by law. But the technology organises this seamlessly.

Now that the system is up and running, it will be put into practice.

The cloud-system learns to improve with each passing day. The routes are optimised. Waiting times for a taxi ar minimised.

At the same time, the AI Taxi programme is also being adjusted to the quieter winter period. Local services set up. Taxi services for locals, but also for visitors to the island who still need a taxi.

Which used to be rather difficult in the winter months if you didn't happen to be strolling past a taxi rank.

And after the winter programme, the machine will be ramped up to 100% capacity. From 2024, almost anything will be possible. You will even be able to plan entire day trips, which is almost the equivalent of a hire car with a personal chauffeur.

If you know the Uber system from other countries and ask about it in Cyprus, you won't find an answer. It is not possible to use Uber in Cyprus. There are only licensed taxi drivers with the necessary training.
