It is a location identifier that passengers can use to name their pickup location. Eg. Cab Spot 1 is located at the main entrance of 24 Kembla Street, Fyshwick. Every Cab Spot signs location and pick up details are known to the Canberra Elite Taxi Fleet, and the computerised booking system.
When you want to book a cab, go to the nearest Cab Spot sign, use this unique number as your pick up point when making a booking and wait next to the sign for your Cab to arrive.
Cab Spot signs are being installed at private business addresses, generally with multiple entrances that cause confusion for passengers and taxi drivers. Eg. Shopping centres with multiple entrances will be offered Cab Spot signs - each with its unique identification number for each entrance. The Cab Spot sign will be fixed to a building wall or similar prominent place, adjacent to the roadside kerb, in easy sight of an arriving taxi. We suggest that you use Cab Spot in conjunction with ETA messaging.
When making a taxi booking you are offered the option to receive an ETA message. This SMS text message will confirm your taxi's estimated arrival time.
