We designed a new partitioning architecture by vertical approach versus the horizontal approach of Plasma by Ethereum. The scalability is phenomenally high.

how can you build a route without servers? At client side? where will be stored a base of drivers? How long app compute a route and choose driver?
Yes, I was thinking the same thing. These are challenges to resolve.
Challenge? It is a simple task. Get working solution from real life and add "blockchain" to the title! Noone knows that the "solution" powered by old technology.  Grin

Sounds interesting, are you the developer?
There is still a lot of information we do not get about this project.
Maybe you can create a thread announcement here, so users here can see and interested in your project.

Cool, I will put an ANN. Currently busy with app testing. And I don't want to put a ,'not so organised' post. Will create a fully informative and complete announcement.

Thanks for the tip.

Here is a link to our blog for why we chose Blockchain taxi for lateral entry in mainstream blockchain business.

Yes, many have tried to do this, maybe you will succeed, you need more information about developers , technical document ... Links to the social network, and preferably the alpha version...

A taxi app on blockchain is not unheard of. Many have tried it. The key to success is performance and speed. Without accuracy customers won’t use it. And without earning potential, drivers won’t use it. Even the incumbent players like Uber, Lyft and Grab have to spend heavy sums to make both ends meet by siphoning investor’s money.

Why would be win? Cause.
We are driven by a cause to pull the drivers out of this mad-mess created by incumbents. While doing our logistics pilot(read here if you missed our genesis) , we came across the ensuing taxi driver protests in Bangalore, London and New York. Some part of stories is obviously political. But some part of these protests is very original pain, societal divide, information gap and ensuing lower class which becomes a mere number tool in hands of malicious power. We visited many drivers who were neck deep in debt due to marketing gimmick of plying more taxis and becoming taxi-entrepreneur. How true was it? None of it. The taxi aggregators wanted virility to attach more drivers by dolling out cheap loans and cruel fine lines. Well, the short story is about our conviction that TIM blockchain is match in heaven for hardworking drivers who want freedom and choice. TIM blockchain will provide hyperlocal dapp smart contract between TIM Foundation and Taxi Unions/Associations. The union/association will sign the TIM powered taxi apps of drivers by its own private key. Therefore TIM is not even an aggregator. TIM is standardizing the operations of Taxi unions and associations through smart contracts. Users can book the taxi the same way as they have been doing this while. Statistically, there are many other benefits of registered drivers. Also, our survey says that union registered taxi drivers are more trustworthy, which is also supported by historical crimes data of India, Singapore and Dubai. And the stories are similar across the globe(pictured below). We don’t want to merely succeed. We want to win.
