Abstract
An interactive for-hire vehicle communication system and method of communicating selectable passenger-related information to a for-hire vehicle are disclosed. The system comprises an audio device located in a for-hire vehicle. A workstation is in communication with the audio devices and the workstation is also in communication with one or more passenger interfaces located in the for-hire vehicle. Either the workstation and/or servers are configured to receive passenger audio information received by the audio device. The passenger audio information is converted to text suitable for passenger-related interactive information exchange to one or more passenger interfaces of the for-hire vehicle. The system also may include a video device configured to receive image information suitable for transmission to one or more servers to provide interactive information exchange to passenger interfaces of the for-hire vehicle.
