Bla Rides sets minum standards and this is the taxi app meter I set Bla Rides standards in
The Taximeter app is considered one of the best and most accurate tools for independent drivers, taxi operators, and small rideshare businesses because it combines professional-grade precision with simplicity and flexibility.
Here’s why it stands out:
🚗 1. Highly Accurate GPS Tracking
Uses your phone’s built-in GPS to measure both distance and time in real time.
Updates constantly as you drive, ensuring fares reflect actual mileage and duration, just like commercial taxi meters.
Works reliably even on long trips or in areas with weak data signal — it doesn’t need to stay online to track distance.
⚙️ 2. Customizable Fare Settings
You can set your own pricing structure, including:
Base fare (starting rate)
Per-mile or per-kilometer rate
Per-minute (waiting or traffic time) rate
Minimum fares, surcharges, or night/weekend pricing
This flexibility makes it ideal for small, local ride services like BlaRides, where rates may differ from big rideshare companies.
💵 3. Professional Fare Display
Shows passengers the fare increasing live — just like a real taxi meter.
Displays distance, time, and total fare clearly, helping riders understand exactly how the price is calculated.
Builds trust and transparency, since customers can see the fare grow as they travel.
🧾 4. Records and Receipts
Keeps a log of every trip — distance, time, total, and route — which is great for bookkeeping, taxes, or tracking business performance.
Lets you send digital receipts to passengers by email or text.
Optional Bluetooth printer support for printed receipts.
🔋 5. Lightweight and Reliable
Works on Android and iPhone with a simple, user-friendly interface.
Doesn’t use much battery or data.
Works even when offline — important for rural or low-signal areas like parts of the Brainerd Lakes region.
✅ In Short
The Taximeter app is good and accurate because it:
Uses precise GPS + time tracking
Lets you control your pricing
Provides transparent fares for passengers
Keeps reliable trip records
Works anywhere, even without strong service
