Phrasebook
DEAR TAXI-FRIENDS,
Although – internationally- it may seem that there’s only
one show in town and one theme to discuss, we (stubbornly)
continue to write and inform you about many
industry themes. Simply because we believe that the many
themes we used to discuss as an industry, five years ago,
haven’t suddenly gone away. And we get all these ideas
and examples from many different countries – that sets
us apart from our colleagues.
So join us on a quest for models of cooperation and competition,
collaboration and sharing, regulatory evaluations
and changes, elastic prices and new marketing models,
minibuses and innovative forms of transportation and
environmental innovations and forms of accessibility. Oh
yes, and last but not least, for taxis and music …

TAXI CONFERENCE
This language guide enables a taxi driver to communicate more easily or at least at
all with foreign passengers. The brochure contains all the phrases used in a taxi from
“Please fasten your seat belt” to “Do you wish to pay by credit card?”.
All the important phrases are included, from Japanese to Spanish, from Finnish to
Russian, from Farsi to Urdu. Communicate in 74 languages without having a command
of them.
Simply tap on it (point) and let the passenger read it. To reply, all he needs to do is nod
or shake his head.
