We’ve read this news from TheStar.com and these are the things you’ll need to know:

1. A new one-way direct airport taxi service has come to town with flat-rate trips beginning at RM18 per person.

2. Called airport2u, the app is created and run by two former taxi drivers.

3. Riders can book trips to KLIA or KLIA2 from a set place and could share that ride with two other passengers in the same cab.

4. Airport2u taxi ride would not be exclusive to that one rider.

5. Riders would have to choose a pick-up point and a departure time at least seven days in advance.

6. They would then get an e-mail from ­airport2u, telling them how to pay.

7. After this, the company would then work on fitting that rider with a specific taxi going from that pick-up point.

8. The app had 27 pick-up points, mostly at shopping malls, across the Klang Valley, with each priced differently.

9. The pick-up point will act like a bus terminal. We gather the passengers together

10. The company had 35 taxi drivers with them at the moment, and that airport2u would only be using those driving multi-­purpose vehicles (MPVs).

11. A quick look at the app showed that a trip from Cyberjaya’s The Pulze would cost RM18 per person, while one from the Gombak LRT station would cost RM39.90.

12. Riders could not take airport2u rides back to the pick-up points.
