We have never before seen the rate of technology adoption and innovation that we are experiencing today. Our goal at Coventry is to keep pace with these developments, and outdistance our competition by delivering an unparalleled user experience for our passengers. Mobile Knowledge has been a long standing partner to Coventry Connections, and we are very excited at the opportunities that their TaxiHail solution is providing to our members, drivers and valued passengers.”

Mr. Patni and Coventry Chief Operating Officer, Marc-André Way, have both been marquis clients to Mobile Knowledge and more recently TaxiHail, and we are grateful for their continued partnership and patronage through this exciting technology revolution.”
