OV Taxi
The client
Transvision provides transportation solutions. One of their core services is to provide door-to-door transportation services that allow users to use Transvision for organizing and executing a trip that requires multiple means, such as taxi and public transport (bus/metro/taxi). With this core service, they specialize in helping the less-abled meet their mobility needs.
The challenge
With the current COVID-19 vaccination program being rolled out in the Netherlands, people are being required to be present at their vaccination appointments on time. However, this can form a challenge for people who are unable to travel on their own, such as older populations, less-abled people, or those simply not in possession of a car. For these people, the team of Transvision wanted to create a mobility solution that allows users to easily book and prepay for a taxi to and from a vaccination location.
Our solution
Together with Lizard Global, Transvision created OVTaxi.nl - a prepaid taxi booking site specifically meant to help those who need transportation to and from their vaccination location. With their vaccination appointment in hand, users can easily book a taxi to get to and from COVID-19 vaccination.
