The "Reg."

If you mean the orange light ... it's a safety device for the driver; if the light is flashing it means the driver is in trouble; and anyone on the road seeing the flashing light will call 911 (999) ... there is also a panic button which lets dispatch know there is a problem .... all cabs have GPS and WiFi; so, their location can be passed on to the police ... all cabs have cameras inside ... all dispatch is done by computer and there is a Samsung tablet in each car through which the driver can communicate with dispatch ... there is also voice communication. All fares are metered. There is a pinpad in every car and all cabs accept credit and debit cards. The company has an app which sends the closest free taxi to your location. Taxis must have 3 MTO safety checks every year; and there are regular spot checks. The local Taxi Commission looks after licencing of drivers and cars. Most Kingstonians seem happy with the local taxis.
