we are small town that are starting up with cab app and have come across a few niggles the first search for a hail of a taxi is 1000 meters we find it searches for one minute before moving on to 3000 meters we find in the smaller towns this will cause a problem we also find the writing for the job is very small what do others find who may have this up and running in smaller towns

If I get you correctly, cabapp hails for the nearest taxis within 5/8ths a mile in old money, then widens the search after a minute.
My old radio circuit did the same, first call any empty. cabs within 1/2 mile, 2nd call a mile.etc. small town system too.
Probably took about a minute from tel call to controller to cab then back.
How much of a problem have you experienced? How many jobs are you losing?
What would be a better setting?
If you passed it on to cabapp they are pretty good at coming up with answers if you check their Facebook and twitter pages.

What are the other niggles?
