VeriFone Holdings Inc. has announced the first Washington, D.C.-area deployment of its VeriFone Transportation Systems passenger information modules, which are self-service payment and digital display stations for use in taxis.
According to a news release from VeriFone, the deployment is with Barwood Taxi of Kensington, which handles approximately 1.2 million rides each year.
Lee Barnes, president and chief executive of Barwood Taxi, says riders have come to expect the time-saving technology:
Offering a self-service payment option is a mark of good customer service today. VeriFone's technology will enhance passengers' experience with Barwood and save time for both customers and drivers.
Barwood will deploy 200 of the terminals and plans to have them in its entire fleet of 435 taxis by the end of the year, the news release says.
