BiTaksi - Your Taxi‪!‬ 4+

I’m so glad I found out about this app. I was visiting Turkey and the worst part of the trip was that every taxi was trying to scam and cheat us as tourists. This app keeps everyone honest and it made the whole stay in Turkey 100% more enjoyable. It was a little difficult setting up my account and navigating the app as it’s only in Turkish right now, but I hope the app will have English soon as well.

Let’s keep helping this app grow!

My cousin sent me a taxi through this app the driver showed up within 1 min. Upon arrival he tells me NO ENGLISH! And shows me the gps destination I tell him ok and yes. We get near and he’s still few blocks away and it’s wet and raining out lightly and he says no more pay now!! Starts to demand money I told him it’s been paid through the app and to call my cousins number that’s on the app he refuses and signals that he can’t call anyone through the app and the whole time keeps the meter running. Then he drives off with me to the Main Street stops in front of Naz Hotel and I ole with him to let me go out and find someone who can translate he agrees. I found 2 people who speak English and both refused to help. Eventually one employee from the hotel gives me the wifi so I called my cousins and they came within 8 mins just as the police came. In the end we were forced to pay this CROOK 100 when it was only meant to be 79 and we were away from our destination.
DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT USE THIS APP DRIVERS WILL SCAM YOU!!! THEY’LL ACT STUPID TAKE WRONG ROUTES ANYTHING THEY CAN DO TO SCAM YOU!! DO NOT USE THIS APP!!!

There is not much difference between this app or the process which should be somehow (regulated)
Drivers STILL do not turn in the meter sometimes. Or they do charge you MORE even if the meter says a number. They want more ! They don’t give change back unless you ask( I always give more as a tip). And the worst part they still Drivers have the choice to take you or not! They asked me where I’m going to and they say they can’t? I was at mall if istanbul and all taxis asks for 150 instead of the 45-55 I always pay for the same pick up. Drop off location. If you at a tourist attraction point they will NOT come. Because they know they can find a tourist who will agree to their added price !!
Many times the meter starts more than what is suppose to start. The opening rate should be 5.5 lira. Many times they have it at 8-9 lira !!
