Tweet a ride in a cab
Updated on 10 July 2009
There is now a new way to hail a black cab in London - through social networking site Twitter.
Richard Cudlip and a fellow cabbie came up with the idea to set up @tweetalondoncab. Now over 30 cabs have joined the collective since it launched last weekend.
The system mainly caters for pre-booked journeys, with drivers waiving the initial fee for people who book through twitter.
It is apparently good for drivers too, as it offers them a network with having to pay for subscriptions to radio networks, and they can share information about traffic or roadworks.
