Carmel's New Transportation App Features More than any App in the World

NEW YORK, Dec. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Carmel, the creator of the first app-based car service to be approved by local government in the U.S.A., announced its newest app version today as the most robust with more bells & whistles than any other transportation app in the world.

"Carmel welcomes competition when it plays by the rules. The Carmel app was the first fully compliant app in New York City and the first ever to be approved by a local government, the Metropolitan Taxicab Commission in St. Louis. Complying with the local laws of all of the 310 cities Carmel services around the world has paved the way for cities to show that you do not have to break the law in order to bring technology to the marketplace," said Dr. Avik Kabessa, CEO of Carmel Limousine.  "The facts are, the Carmel app is cheaper than Uber Black, safer than Uber X (which is rightly banned in many cities), and outperforms the both of them."

Carmel's NEW app possesses more features than any other transportation app in the world, including Uber's and Lyft's. And for its millions of customers, the best just got better. "Your travel is too important to leave to chance so choose the Carmel Global Travel Solution! ", added Kabessa.

Unlike Uber and Lyft, which are technology companies pretending to be a transportation company, Carmel has been a transportation company for 35 years.  Foundational to its exemplary track record, Carmel deals only with locally licensed car service companies rather than individual drivers, and uses fair pricing practices which include providing a flat rate and complete waybill before each trip. Furthermore, Carmel's proprietary technology allows it to adjust its operation and meet local government's rules in each city it services.

Carmel Car and Limousine Service, a New York Limousine based company, has served their customers with the highest "on time" record service for the lowest prices since 1978. Carmel provides service in over 300 major cities around the world.
