S.RIDE Revolutionizes Cab Dispatch with Pre-Fixed Fare System

S.RIDE: A Taxi Hailing Service

S.RIDE is a joint venture between taxi operators in Tokyo and the Sony Group. The taxi vehicles owned by the shareholders, who are taxi operators in Tokyo, currently exceed 10,000 units, making it the largest fleet in Tokyo. The name of the taxi dispatch app, "S.RIDE," symbolizes a new taxi experience that provides a simple, smart, and speedy ride experience. With a single slide, you can call the nearest taxi from Tokyo's largest taxi network. Monstarlab supports the front-end development of this taxi dispatch service.

Pre-Fixed Fare System

The pre-fixed fare system allows users to enter their pickup location and destination before boarding a cab. Based on the projected travel distance on the map, a fixed fare is automatically calculated in advance.

Team Collaboration and Development

Monstarlab organized an agile team of engineers to address various situations cab companies face, ensuring continuous support. Additionally, a collaborative team composed of members from Monstarlab and S.Ride development teams was formed to manage the pre-fixed fare service and improve architecture. By expanding and optimizing the existing architecture, delivery times were shortened, and the service launched without delays.

S.Ride's Innovative Approach

S.Ride introduced the next generation of cab dispatch service by offering a Simple, Smart, and Speedy ride experience. As a result, the number of service users is growing steadily. The company continues to work closely with partners specializing in various business areas to enhance mobility services and offer new experiences.
