ABSTRACT
Today, the application of emerging technology has penetrated almost all the
sectors, including transportation services sector. The entire activity of the transport
service providers need to make use of technology and information intended to
improve customer service and increase revenues. One of the breakthroughs that are
widely used by companies of services to support the company's operating system
becomes more efficient is by using the application on the smartphone.
One of the taxi transportation service providers in the area of Padang, West
Sumatra which taxi company Kosti. The company already has a branch that has
spread in almost all the cities in the region in Indonesia, including in the city of
