Atlanta Checker Cab Says Get Their Free App - In Time for Back to School

Back to School means new pens, notebooks, and backpacks.

It also means that it's the perfect time to download the Atlanta Checker Cab app for your iOS or Android device.

We all know that everyday, kid's get picked up and ride the yellow school bus to class, but other kids take Atlanta Checker Cabs to school and their after-school activities.

All of Atlanta Checker Cab's drivers have passed background checks and have been vetted, unlike the drivers at those "rogue" taxi and transportation companies.

The "Atlanta Checker Cab" app is available for both Android and iOS smartphones and tablets, and has been approved for both Google Play and Apple’s App stores. The app also includes a custom branded website for on-line bookings. Passengers booking through the website can see these reservations on the app as well as they leave their desk to meet their cab.

"Drivers and customers have had positive feedback thus far, and servicing over 100 app calls every day," says Rick Hewatt, President of Atlanta Checker Cab.  "For many people, the app has been a big help."

Users who download the Atlanta Checker Cab application can quickly create an account with an email and telephone number, and book their first ride immediately thereafter. The app allows users to define their pickup and destination points, and even estimates a fare for the journey. Passengers are provided with a confirmation number, along with periodic updates when they are assigned a vehicle. They can see their vehicle on a map as it proceeds towards the pick-up address, and are notified when the vehicle is out front. At the end of the ride, customers can get an email receipt with the details of the trip for accurate and convenient expense tracking.

Additional features of innovative app include the ability to define favorite locations, rebook a previous trip, and select a pickup or destination address based upon Google Places lookup. Users may also set preferences for vehicle type, payment method and number of passengers. Many new and exciting features are planned for subsequent releases.

With more than 200 vehicles on the road any given weekend, Atlanta Checker is the leading transportation service provider and innovator in Atlanta. Atlanta Checker vehicles are dispatched by the Mobile Knowledge Cabmate dispatch system, and GPS equipped Series 2000 Mobile Data Terminals. Passengers are able to pay by Cash, Credit Card, or on Account for maximum convenience and flexibility.


Hewatt says keeping current with technology has always been a priority for Atlanta Checker Cab.

“Atlanta Checker has been an early adopter of technology that benefits both our drivers and the riding public alike. We are pleased to now be in a position to offer our clients the Atlanta Checker Cab app that will allow them to ‘App-a-Cab’ from their smartphone, or alternatively to make a reservation directly from our website. Mobile Knowledge has been a long standing and trusted technology partner to Atlanta Checker for almost twenty years and we are extremely pleased that they are assisting their clients in responding to the increasing demand for this next generation of service.”

Make sure the Atlanta Checker Cab app is on your smartphone or tablet as the 2013-14 school years gets underway.
