Metro Cab Finder

Metro Cab Finder Review

by on December 17, 2010

If you are in the habit of getting drunk and regularly getting lost in London, as we are, then this new (and free) cab finding app from the good people of Metro is ideal.

Obviously, you could just fire up Safari and search for a cab nearby to wherever Google Maps tells you you’re at. Yet after eight pints of nettle brew, that suddenly becomes an almost impossible job, with too many steps and variants that might go wrong. Much easier to punch up Metro Cab Finder and just be given a list of the nearest licensed taxi firms.

The bonus here – particularly for single women – is that you need no longer find yourself using unlicensed cabs when stumbling out of a club in the early hours. There are thousands of these nefarious types roaming the streets of London looking for drunken punters, with too many scare stories of people being ripped off (or, in the worst cases, attacked or sexually abused by drivers taking advantage of passenger’s drunken states).

So get yourself Metro Cabfinder which is quite simply the best app for finding a licensed taxi wherever you may be in the UK. All the companies listed have been fully checked out. Plus the app gives you their actual phone numbers, so you don’t get ripped off by being tricked into using premium rate numbers on your mobile.
