Free App for Taxi Users
Meter for Uber and Lyft is a special app that allows users to keep track of their taxi fare as they rise. This is designed to help prevent users from paying more than they should and also makes it possible for users to keep track of their previous rides for comparison.
Keeping Track of Your Fare
One of the great things about Meter for Uber and Lyft is that it comes with a map that users can plot their destination on. This works through GPs to provide accurate information on exactly where users are throughout the ride. This means that users of the app can be absolutely certain that they are not being steered in the wrong direction and will be able to know exactly where they are at all times. However, it should be noted that this constant connection to GPS tends to drain the battery on a Smartphone or tablet rather quickly and users may want to make sure they take a charger along.
All Fare and Good
The only real downside with using Meter for Uber and Lyft is that users are charged a booking fee when they hire a taxi through the app. This means that in effect users actually pay more than they would for taking a regular taxi, although the lack of hassle may be more than worth this for a lot of people.
