The most suitable cab may either be the one closest to the pick-up address or the one that was the first to book into the “zone” surrounding the pickup address. Cabs are sometimes dispatched from their taxi stands; a call to “Top of the 2” means that the first cab in line at stand #2 is supposed to pick someone up. The modern taximeter was invented and perfected by a trio of German inventors; Wilhelm Friedrich Nedler, Ferdinand Dencker and Friedrich Wilhelm Gustav Bruhn. The Daimler Victoria—the world’s first gasoline-powered taximeter-cab—was built by Gottlieb Daimler in 1897 and began operating in Stuttgart in 1897. Gasoline-powered taxicabs began operating in Paris in 1899, in London in 1903, and in New York in 1907.
Local authorities had lost their say in the market due to the deregulation, and thus were unable to correct these problems. In nearly all deregulating cities the number of taxis increased, more people were employed as drivers, and deregulation advocates claim needs were better satisfied. Taxi dispatch is evolving in connection to the telecom sector with the advent of smart-phones. Most places allow a taxi to be “hailed” or “flagged” on the side of the street as it is approaching.
Taxicabs proliferated around the world in the early 20th century. The first major innovation after the invention of the taximeter occurred in the late 1940s, when two-way radios first appeared in taxicabs. Radios enabled taxicabs and dispatch offices to communicate and serve customers more efficiently than previous methods, such as using callboxes. The next major innovation occurred in the 1980s when computer assisted dispatching was first introduced.
