Telus To Provide Mobile Device Chargers In Cabs For FREE

If you sometimes need to travel by cab and you often have a smartphone that needs a boost, Telus can now help you with that. In a partnership with Play Taxi Media, Telus is introducing smartphone and tablet chargers in taxis.  Taxi-goers in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver will now be able to charge their devices while on-the-go, free of charge. You’ll find the chargers in 1,000 active cabs in those cities over the coming months. Taxis will be equipped with a power docking station located on the backside of the passenger seat headrest that will work with any smartphone or tablet. It’s as simple as docking your device, sitting back and enjoying the ride.

The in-taxi device chargers will be available through 2015 with Blacktop & Checker Cabs in Vancouver, Mayfair Taxi in Calgary, Ambassador Taxis in Toronto and Taxi Union in Montreal. The program will grow to include additional taxi companies over the coming months. That will make life easier for many who rely on both cabs and their mobile devices.
