Click here to see a list of our Cab Spots
It is a location identifier that
passengers can use to name their pickup location.
Eg. Cab Spot 1 is located at the main entrance of 24 Kembla
Street, Fyshwick. The location of every Cab Spot is held in the Canberra
Elite Taxi computerised booking system.
How can Taxi Customers use Cab Spot?
When you
want to book a cab, go to the nearest Cab Spot sign, use this
unique number as your pickup point when making a booking
and wait next to the sign for your
Cab to arrive.
Where are Cab Spot signs
being placed?
Cab Spot signs are
being installed at private business
addresses, generally with multiple
entrances that cause confusion for
passengers and taxi drivers. For example, Shopping centres with multiple
entrances will be offered Cab Spot signs - each with their unique identification number for each
entrance. The Cab Spot sign will be fixed to a building wall or
similar prominent place, adjacent to the roadside kerb, in easy
sight of an arriving taxi. We suggest that you use Cab Spot in
conjunction with ETA messaging.
ETA Messaging - What's This?
When making a taxi booking you are offered the option of receiving an ETA message.
This SMS text message will confirm your taxi's estimated arrival
time.
