    Auto-Taxi fare , Train schedule on Mobile Phone

    Ever felt cheated after a cab or a rickshaw ride? Or wished you knew when the next train to Andheri was due? Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) Limited has yet again launched a tailor made value added service for its subscribers in Mumbai. They can now access taxi, auto fares and the local train timetable on their Tata Indicom mobiles via sms.

    To avail of this service subscribers simply have to type ‘TAXI’ /‘Auto’ followed by the ‘meter reading’, and send it to 58282 for e.g. ‘TAXI 1.20’, to get the correct day and night fare. For the next available train schedule one has to simply type ‘TRAIN’ followed by the ‘(source & destination)’ and send it to 58282 for e.g. ‘TRAIN Andheri Dadar’. Each SMS will be charged Rs. 3.

    Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Shashank Pore, General Manager, Marketing, Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) limited said, “It is our firm belief that our customized services set us apart in this fiercely competitive industry.

    Such app becomes really handy for an mobile phone. I found a train schedule app made on java. The issue with that only was, that you cannot zoom the screen. It shows an unzoomed images with very tiny text on them which makes my work a bit tougher. I am too finding for an better app that can provide info on the railway timetable and rick fares.
