Taxi Lineup is the first online solution to take care of local parcel deliveries, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, using local taxis.
Sydney, Melbourne Australia, 10 March 2016 - Ever been stuck trying to get an item across town quickly but haven’t got the time to do it yourself? Taxi Lineup is the first online solution to take care of local parcel deliveries, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, using local taxis. 

Taxi Lineup, developed by Australian business owner Anthony Lechner, has launched in the Sydney market today. The idea is simple. Taxi Lineup is a platform for easy booking of local parcel deliveries, providing secure tracking and payment system, for drivers and customers. The magic is that Taxi Lineup uses the local network of registered taxi drivers that can be tracked across the city and suburbs, and are on the road 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It solves the “last mile” logistics issue for businesses and gives customers easy access to deliveries. 

Via the mobile application or the website, customers can now use Taxi Lineup to book deliveries within Sydney and Melbourne. Any item up to 16kg can be delivered across town: documents, parcels, gifts and flowers, or even just that phone you left at home. 

Customers can choose delivery within 1 hour, 3 hours or a 6 hour same day delivery window. Most importantly, bookings can be made at any time of the day or night, 7 days a week and even public holidays, and there’s no additional charge. You don’t need a corporate account to use Taxi Lineup (but we’ve got happy business customers too). Taxi Lineup is actually formalising an ad-hoc system that has been under-used for years – now we’re making it easier. 

Taxi Lineup also provides a timely revenue boost to taxi drivers who have seen their industry shaken up by recent changes. Several months of market research, development and testing has highlighted the under-utilised down time many taxi drivers report in any given shift. After completing the thorough Taxi Lineup recruitment process, local taxi drivers now have the opportunity to use that down time and supplement their passenger service with deliveries.

Taxi Lineup charges the same competitive flat rates to everyone – corporations, small business and individuals – regardless of time of day or day of the week: 
1-hour urgent delivery from $44 (inc GST) within 10km 
3-hour express delivery from $25 (inc GST) within 10km 
6-hour same day delivery (eg. pick-up by 3pm and delivery by 9pm) costs $18 (inc GST) within 10km 

Taxi Lineup will launch in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth shortly, and has its sights firmly set on markets regionally and overseas. The new app is now available for free download on both Android and Apple or bookings can be made directly from the website – www.taxilineup.com
