If you've ever wondered what people do inside cabs, the Taxi Snapshot app lets travelers shoot and post anonymous moments during their ride. Created by Reddyset, the comical app takes social sharing to a whole new market.
Hundreds of New Yorkers take cabs routinely to get from point A to point B. The app is simple and to-the-point. Users hit the snapshot button, take a picture and upload it to the app. Other users can browse and see what other New Yorkers are doing during their ride over. The app also allows people to tag their photo to a specific cab number, letting everyone know which cars have the most "you only live once" moments.
The Taxi Snapshot app reconnects city slickers by offering people a humorous way to showcase their cabbie adventures.
