Archipelago Taxi Apps

The Bouzay App Helps People in the Seychelles Islands to Find a Ride

— September 16, 2016 — Autos
Taxi apps have well and truly been on a skyward path across big countries across the world but especially in North America, Europe and Asia; however a new app called Bouzay is bidding to show that there's also a market to be taken advantage of in smaller and more isolated areas.

Bouzay is a taxi app that is dedicated to helping people in Seychelles get around. Owned by a company called Buzz Seychelles Limited, the Bouzay app is similar to Uber, although a key difference is that it will only be made available to licensed taxi operators, who will be able to take part in a two month-long trial to see if they want to keep using Bouzay.

This targeted taxi app looks to be a great transportation options for tourists in particular, given the challenges of getting around in an archipelago nation.




Trend Themes
1. Island Taxi Apps - There is an opportunity to create taxi apps specifically tailored to small and isolated areas, such as island nations like Seychelles.
2. Targeted Transportation Apps - Creating transportation apps that cater specifically to certain groups of people, such as tourists or senior citizens, could be a disruptive innovation in the industry.
3. Licensed Taxi Operator Apps - Developing apps that can only be used by licensed taxi operators, rather than independent contractors, could provide a more regulated and secure transportation option for consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Transportation - The transportation industry can explore creating more targeted and regulated taxi apps for specific markets.
2. Tourism - The tourism industry can potentially use targeted taxi apps, such as Bouzay, to improve transportation options for tourists visiting small or isolated areas.
3. Technology - Developing more advanced and specialized apps, such as Bouzay, could be a disruptive innovation in the technology industry's app market.
