Drivers
Fleet management services currently require large numbers of drivers.
Some of the many benefits driving a Lime Taxi affords you are:
- World-class network technology utilised to increase fares for each shift and reduce “dead running”
- Vehicle fitted with GPS destination guidance
- Passenger loyalty services marketed
- Drivers can “own their clientele” through the preferred driver system
- Credit & debit card payments received within 24 – 72 hours into the driver’s bank account
- First network to allocate 10% of credit surcharge to the driver (1% of transaction) and equivalent to charity
- First / only taxi network to develop an alternate training program for drivers to include “special needs” input from organisations for people with disabilities
- Weekly driver meetings
- Drivers direct dial help line
Community service
By driving a Lime Taxi, you are providing a valuable service to the community. Lime’s high standards will ensure that drivers provide exceptional customer service for both people using wheelchairs and the able bodied population.
The vehicle
From behind the wheel, you will understand why the Vito won the International Van of the Year 2005 award in Germany – it drives like a Mercedes-Benz should, with all the engineering and safety that only Mercedes can offer. Add to this the fuel efficiency of diesel, rear wheel drive for better performance on hills, good cabin ergonomics for driver comfort and it is an easy choice.
GPS
The GPS system is integral to a Lime taxi performance. Each vehicle is equipped with advanced GPS & GPRS systems which provides street directions and dispatch system operations.
Navigating around Sydney has never been as easy, using the Pathfinder system employed in all Lime taxis. The system relies on GPS technology and provides a map and voice directions to your desired destination.
Payment system
Live Payments has securely linked the payment system to the banking system for real time payments. This is a first for the taxi industry. The payment system makes automated daily reconciliation and settlement, highly secure credit and debit card payment and paying drivers direct to their own bank accounts in 24 (to 72) hours. In addition, drivers receive 10% of the credit transaction charge, another first introduced by Live Payments.
Uniforms
The Lime uniforms are high quality, machine washable and comfortable to enhance both driver and passenger satisfaction. The uniforms are available from the network operator.
