Tappa emerge as new black cab app option for London

An unexpected new taxi booking app is set to hit the streets of London called Tappa. The team behind the app, released on both Apple and Android platforms, have yet to release details of any official launch as yet. The ride-hailing startup has however opened up its driver recruitment section on it’s website. Tappa promotes itself as “London Black cab quality with the benefits of the low-cost taxi apps!”. They also offer an online booking option for passengers wishing to book a taxi from their desktop or website browser rather than the app. It is unclear who is behind the venture or how it is being funded at this point, but TaxiPoint hope to have more details soon.
