TSP is Taxi Service Provider. It is similar to what used to be called Network. For Example: 13Cabs, Premier Cabs, Legion Cabs, GM Cabs, XCabs etc. (Names are only for guidance purposes).

The BSP stands for Booking Service Provider. It qualifies you to get bookings from Customers and Offload them to legitimate drivers. If you want to get Taxis under your Brand, you need to get TSP.

17. What about the equipment? Will you provide that as well? If not, how do I know what equipment I need and where to find them?
Yes, we will help you in getting the equipment. For Example: you need Camera, Meter, Tablet, Roof Sign, Duress Alarm Switch, Bluetooth Box to connect Alarm Switch to your Tablet, Decal (Stickers) outside your Taxi etc. We can help you in getting these at the best possible prices and installation as well.
18. Why should I need all these equipment? In my previous Network, they provided me with everything.
As per Point to Point the vehicle should have these equipment. Usually, No one pays for anything from their pockets. The Radio Fee that you pay, includes all these costs along with the company profits. Usually, when you leave that Network, they take all their equipment back. Our experience is that you end up paying lot more money for something which is not even yours in the end. With our model, you invest some money initially and own all the equipment. These are standard equipment and usually can be used with any other company as well. The upfront cost can also be reduced by getting some equipment on monthly payments. e.g. Say a Samsung Tablet “Galaxy Tab A” costs around $500 from JB HiFi etc., you can get the same tablet from say Vodafone for $13.86 per month over 36 months. It costs you nearly same as you would have spent upfront in a retail store.
19. Do you provide a meter as well?
We provide you the “Dispatch Software” that will be installed in your Tablet. This Dispatch Software comes with a “SOFT METER”. Express Transport Solutions Australia Pty Ltd. www.xcabs.com.au [email protected] | +61 404 11 55 81 | 1300 11 55 81
20. What is a Soft Meter?
In our case, the Soft Meter is a meter that will run on your Tablet. The Tablet can be installed on the Left side of the Staring Wheel, so the customer can see the Meter as well.
21. Is there any additional cost for Soft Meter?
No, there is no additional cost for Soft Meter.
22. What if I want to have a physical Meter that is usually used in the Taxis?
You can get a physical Meter as well at your own cost.
23. What is the cost of that Meter?
They can be supplied by different companies and you need to speak to them for exact prices. We can help you in choosing a Meter and can give you some rough idea about how much they cost. e.g. A G5 meter from Schmidt Company costs you $33 Per Month (estimate only, please make your own contact for exact prices and terms).
24. What if I want to get a Cabcharge Meter along with EFTPOS?
Yes, you can get a Cabcharge Meter along with EFTPOS as well. Our understanding is that you will need to pay some fee per month to Cabcharge and they wave off that fee after certain amounts achieved on their EFTPOS.
25. How can I proceed?
