FEEDBACK FROM WINNER:
The best thing about the system is that I need not be put on hold! The most frustrating thing about being put on hold is that after x mins of listening to their music, you hear the operator's voice again telling you there's no available taxis. With sms, you get instant notification. It's ok if there aren't any cabs - I just need to know that instead of being told to wait, or waiting in vain. Having the taxi driver's contact number also helps, especially if the pick-up location is obscure, or if it suddenly rains and you need to change the pick-up point to a sheltered place. Overall, I can't wait for the system to kick off and become a real one that we all can use. Thanks for kick-starting this, KL.

FEEDBACK FROM WINNER:
Excellent, very innovative and will definitely speed up processes.
My worry is can system take the load, SMS cost?

Reply:  We have to find out in practice, if it can take the load and SMS cost. Hope to launch it in August.
