"Taxin Miasin" is a taxi-pooling service in Yerevan, Armenia. It allows its users to order a shared taxi with shared price. It works like this: a user creates an order specifying his/her route's starting and ending points, set off date and time, number of passengers (the default is 1), whether the order should be recurring and the payment method (with Paypal or with cash). After a successful order an email will be sent to the user with order details. When 2 other users choose a similar route and date/time then all 3 of them will get an SMS message with the taxi’s details to make it easier for them to identify the car which will serve them on due date/time. Users can cancel their orders before the due date/time if they want so. A single ride costs 350 AMD (It's almost 3 times cheaper than people usually pay for about 10 km ride). The distance you can go is limited to 10km – a reasonable limitation for most people going to their workplace or to their studies. After getting their ride, users can choose to leave a feedback thus helping to improve the service. Disclaimer: The author of this article is this start-up's founder.
