It will facilitate the payment of the service

The leader of the CTM signed an agreement with the company Umbrella, which will install advertising screens inside the vehicles

Taxi drivers who wish to do so, may install a modern information system inside their vehicles, advertising screens and a bank terminal for bank card payments, after signing an agreement between the Confederation of Workers of Mexico (CTM) and the Canadian company Umbrella Media. The program will start with 20 drivers who have already accepted.
The leader of the CTM in the state of Jalisco, Rafael Yerena Zambrano reported that shortly they will propose to the 1,145 taxi drivers of the city to consider installing this system so that they can "become modern" with the installation of this system, which according to its promoters, is already being used by taxis in several large cities like London and New York.
The signature was stamped on Saturday at noon in a hotel in the tourist area by Rafael Yerena Zambrano and Hector Sánchez Cárdenas from the CTM, as well as by Carlos Olamendi and Shane Yurenko, representatives of Umbrella Media.
In the act, the CTM leader explained that it was about two years ago when the company representatives sought him to make the proposal, but at the time it was not the right one and he asked for it to be adjusted until the current version was reached, he said, it is the most convenient one for the local taxi service, of which he highlighted the use of satellite or GPS locators in vehicles, the possibility of having a "panic button" to alert the authorities of any problem and the payment with bank cards, of credit or debit.
The type of agreement implies that each licensee would have to sign a letter of acceptance of the equipment, of which there would have to be a payment for liability insurance, from that time there could be access to a percentage of the advertising that is sold or of the public services that are paid on the screens (there was talk about payment of light or water as possibilities).
Regarding the payment of their fees in the case of payment by credit card, the Canadian company representative explained that it would automatically transfer to the account specified by the permit holder, for which, like with any other payment of this form, the deposit will be immediately reflected according to income being obtained.
The agreement signature involves taxis and the Port Authority of the hotel zone, which will be the first to have access to this equipment, but the intention is to propose it to the entire guild, so that they can access this new system of information, location and payment.
