A total of 500 taxi drivers in Da Nang who have been using the GrabTaxi application are participating in a festival in the city on Tuesday and Wednesday to show GrabTaxi's gratitude to its users.  Organised by GrabTaxi Viet Nam, the event aims to encourage the taxi drivers to improve their professional skills and maintain a friendly attitude and behaviour towards their customers.

During the event, 3 outstanding drivers from the city's Tien Sa taxi company were honoured for their taxi fare collection growth of over 200%.  In addition, some studious poor children of taxi drivers were granted scholarships for the new academic year. 

All the participating taxi drivers were presented with voluntary civil liability insurance packages for third party beneficiaries, worth up to 100 million VND each.

GrabTaxi, which is a smartphone-based taxi booking and dispatching service, was launched in Da Nang in June.  The application lets passengers find the taxi nearest to them easily, conveniently and safely.
