Taxi App "GO" and "Japan Travel by NAVITIME" Launch Integration
The taxi dispatch app "GO" and the navigation app for international tourists visiting Japan, "Japan Travel by NAVITIME," have begun a service integration. This collaboration will enable foreign visitors to Japan to use taxis more smoothly.
"Japan Travel by NAVITIME" is an app that provides tourist information and transit guidance within Japan. With this integration, it is now possible to call the "GO" taxi dispatch service directly when searching for a destination within the app.
Previously, booking or arranging a taxi could be difficult for foreign tourists unfamiliar with the language or local transportation methods. With this system integration, tourists can now call a taxi directly from the map app, which is expected to significantly improve the convenience of getting around.
According to the Japan National Tourism Organization, the number of foreign visitors to Japan is on an upward trend. Making transportation in tourist areas more convenient is a major benefit for travelers. Moving forward, the expansion of tourism support services utilizing technology will continue to be a focus of attention.
