In terms of functionality, it is similar to what other services like Meru offers. You will be able to choose the pick-up point and destination, in addition to the time of pick-up and the kind of cab (AC or Non-AC) you need. Once booked, the service promises to send a cab within 20 minutes. A unique feature on this app is that it works even when there is no active data connection. In such a scenario, the app will send the booking details via SMS and will use the same medium to reply with a confirmation.

The Bookmycab.com service has more than 3,000 black and yellow cabs that cover the whole of Mumbai region and promises to send a cab to one’s doorsteps in less than 20 minutes.

Though this is the first mobile app that lets one book a black and yellow cab, other private operators like Meru, EasyCabs and Ola Cabs have been offering such apps for quite a while now.
