Stop cabs from running empty in the UK
Although it's unlikely that this will have a huge impact, the idea seems original and could greatly improve taxi operators' cash flow: A new free website has been created for the UK where you can book a taxi that would otherwise run empty. Consider that many trips taxis take are empty, adding come coordination to the chaos might save quite a number of "wasted" miles, for instance when taxis go to the airport to wait for passengers or for prearranged passenger pick-ups. The website puts drivers of those empty taxis and potential clients in contact so the cabs don't run empty and the rider saves a few pounds on the fare. While an interesting idea, the website doesn't seem to be not working right now.

The website "doesn't seem to be not working right now?" So...it's working then?
If I were in London, I wouldn't seriously consider not using this service. I mean, as long as it wasn't not working that is.
