7.2.1.2. Launch Event All feedback and incorporated suggestions from key parties are part of the final build of the application. All stakeholders, cab owners, cab drivers and commuters will be invited for a launch event(s) to …show more content…
Press Editorial Any Cab operators who would have missed out on the event will be informed of proceedings via a press editorial published in the leading tabloids shortly thereafter. The write-up will again emphasise on the benefits for both the Cab operator and the commuter, illustrate how the application will work, and encourage the reader to download and register for the application from their respective application store.

Based on the calculation that the motorist will make two trips (to and from home) daily where they can offer someone a ride at US$0.50, this comes up to US$1,456.00 per year from four passengers per trip, before commission.
7.3.2. Banner Advertisements The above messages can also be portrayed via banner advertisement displayed at service stations and shopping centres across the city, these being places that all motorists frequent regularly.
7.3.3. Radio Lastly, getting airplay on the leading radio stations will also further our objective herein. Most drivers listen to radio during their commute to and from work and hence, buying airtime during these peak periods will greatly improve the reach of our advertising initiatives. We intend to advertise on radio stations to counter effect the traffic and cast spread of the
