Supporting and promoting local licensed taxi drivers is fundamental to the mytaxi business aim as it aims to take up a central role in Edinburgh’s integrated transport system.

Hannah Soll-Morris, Head of Operations and Expansion at mytaxi, commented: “We couldn’t be more excited to launch our first Scottish City by partnering with the leading operator in Edinburgh.

“The city is outstanding for a whole host of reasons; the beautiful architecture, the thriving business community and the exciting events calendar just to name a few. We’ve had an incredibly strong start to 2018 by both expanding our London business and launching in Nottingham and we’re thrilled to continue to extend our UK footprint with such an iconic city as Edinburgh.

“We hope that by partnering with City Cabs, mytaxi can help you experience everything the Capital of Scotland has to offer in a safe and seamless way”
