Abstract

A new and improved computer system is disclosed that would be used by a taxi company or similar company which would allow a taxi driver to have instant access to information as needed. The computer system would comprise a main computer and a plurality of device screens. The main computer would likely be located at a dispatch center, while each taxicab would have a device screen which would allow a taxi driver to save, delete, and view information as needed. The taxi driver would also be able to print reports from the device screen as needed, and would also be able to view road maps to aid the taxi driver in finding locations. The present invention would preferably work with the AGS driver computer system, but could also be designed to work any software design.
