Benefits to Owner/Drivers and DOVs


Finally, there’s a mandate that can benefit taxi passengers and the taxi industry! We are proud to present owner/drivers, DOVs and lease drivers with exciting features like these:

  • FREE credit/debit card capability, text messaging and Passenger Information Monitor equipment, saving our customers thousands of dollars in up-front costs. Instead, we offer a low consolidated monthly usage fee.
  • The opportunity to make money – we plan to meet certain market goals within the first few years of this program through revenue generated by Clear Channel’s exclusive “NY10” in-taxi advertising and programming package. And when we do, we want our customers to share in our success, first by cutting already low usage fees for owners, then by eliminating fees, and ultimately by providing our customers owners with a brand new revenue stream.
  • Better tips, safer cashless transactions and higher passenger volume resulting from credit/debit card capabilities.
  • The most competitive credit card rates available through our exclusive strategic business partnership with Bank of America Merchant Services.
  • Payment as quick as 24 hours on credit/debit purchases.
  • Driver-side alert button which sends an instant alert signal.
  • Traffic alerts and information on where yellow taxis are needed (i.e. cruise ship disembarkations, Javits Center trade shows, MSG events, etc…) texted directly to the driver.
  • Free business management tools through our web-based software. For example, the use of electronic trip sheets can help determine patterns of the most and least profitable shifts, areas and times of day over long periods of time.
  • End-of-shift receipt prints out from the meter and provides the driver with a record of fares – useful for keeping records.
  • Real-time fare and toll information in the backseat eliminates passenger confusion – passengers are shown the exact amount of each toll as soon as EZ Pass is activated.
  • Available discounts on fire and theft insurance.
  • Our Taxi Owner and Driver Computer Center which provides customers with the opportunity to get online and access their accounts for electronic trip sheets and other information.
  • High quality programming on our Passenger Information Monitors (PIM). Clear Channel’s “NY10” features a wide variety of content exclusive to the FREEdom Solution. The content was designed to be engaging to passengers and unobtrusive to drivers, understanding that monotonous programming can be irritating for drivers.
  • Maintenance and repair guarantee for the life of the contract. We guarantee speedy service, minimizing downtime and lost revenues.

And passengers benefit from…
  • Credit and debit card acceptance through encrypted, privacy protected network.
  • Dual view interactive passenger map to track the journey.
  • Real-time fare and toll information in the backseat.
  • Tip calculator.
  • Exclusive “NY10” in-taxi programming provided by a top content provider, backed by Clear Channel Taxi Media and displayed on our unique, patented Passenger Information Monitors which allow passengers to watch entertaining programs, obtain relevant fare information and surf for local news, sports scores, weather, entertainment and more.
