Johnston Press, the regional publisher that had to back down over an attempt to cut car mileage rates, has teamed up with a mini-cab booking service.
The Drum reports that the partnership will allow users of the company's events and listings website WOW247 to book taxis online through minicabit
Steven Thomas, general manager for WOW247, said: "Minicabit is the latest example of how Johnston Press are enriching WOW247's local and national event offerings with relevant, innovative services across web and mobile."
The publisher is not, of course, expecting its journalists to use the taxi service for work assignments. Cabbies tend to charge much more than 45p a mile.
