Johnston Press partners with online minicab firm

Regional publisher Johnston Press has teamed up with a cab booking service that will allow its website users to book taxis online.

The partnership will see a white-labelled version of web and phone app minicabit integrated into JP’s UK event site WOW247.

It will allow online users to compare and book cab quotes for listed events using a WOW247 branded web app, powered by minicabit.

Steven Thomas, general manager for WOW247, said: “Minicabit is the latest example of how Johnston Press are enriching WOW247’s local and national event offerings with relevant, innovative services across web and mobile.

“Online cab booking is a logical next step and so minicabit’s strength as the single, UK-wide digital entity to enable this opens up some compelling opportunities for our online audiences.”

    Could JP’s reporters and photographers use this as well? They’d find it useful.

    Crass piece of timing in the light of recent ‘mileage’ headlines.
    But hey, it’s Johnston management!
