If you were Mediterranean government ministers
looking to start up and operate a radio taxi service in all
22,000 of your capital city’s cabs, where in the world would you
start to look for advice on how to do it correctly? Such was the dilemma for the CEO of Gantek Holding, Dr Ejder Varol and Adnad Sahin, the General Manager and Executive Board Member of ‘Belbim’ - the Istanbul Municipalities Data Processing Company - when faced with the task of installing radios in Istanbul’s taxi fleet in a Turkish government-funded initiative to modernise their capital’s cabs – yes, all 22,000! "We telephoned the Commercial Attaché at the British Embassy in Istanbul," said Dr Varol, "and he told us to contact Dial-a-Cab in London.

mission
to our Brunswick House offices. "I showed them around and explained in great detail how we do things," Brian told our reporter, "I was certainly very proud that both embassies recommended Dial-a-Cab as an example of how a radio taxi company should operate and it proves to me how highly regarded DaC is overseas." © Call Sign Magazine MM6 |
