Kangaroo Cabs, Sri Lanka’s trusted transportation provider for over 35 years, is once again raising the bar with ground-breaking technology that puts customer convenience at the forefront. The company has launched Sri Lanka’s first ‘Tap to Pay’ taxi-hailing service, revolutionising the way passengers pay for rides. Now, passengers can simply tap their Visa or Mastercard on the driver’s NFC-enabled phone, completely eliminating cash and POS terminals. This innovative solution is set to streamline transactions, ensuring a smooth, hassle-free experience for both passengers and drivers.

In partnership with Genie Business, Kangaroo Cabs has integrated a system that automatically retrieves the correct fare, minimising the time spent on payment and ensuring accuracy with every transaction. Kangaroo Cabs Finance Director Kusal Fonseka commented, “This collaboration is a huge leap forward. By offering ‘Tap to Pay’, we’re not just adopting new payment technology but improving operational efficiency for our drivers. This solution simplifies fare collection, reduces payment disputes, and reinforces our commitment to staying ahead in customer service and innovation.”

The enhancements don’t stop there. Kangaroo Cabs has also redesigned its website, making booking a ride easier than ever. Whether it’s an airport pickup, a quick trip, or even tours, the revamped website allows customers to effortlessly book, pay, and manage their ride in one seamless experience. With features like ride status tracking, account management, and 24/7 customer support, Kangaroo Cabs ensures an exceptional service every step of the way. For a smoother, smarter ride, visit www.kangaroocabs.com and book your ride today. Adding even more value, the company has launched Kangaroo Miles, a loyalty program where the more you ride, the more miles you earn. Earn 1 rupee for every mile travelled, and use your miles for future rides or buy them separately for added flexibility. With these exciting innovations, Kangaroo Cabs is leading the way in modern transportation, offering unmatched convenience, comfort, and cutting-edge technology for every ride.
