The short answer
Why TaxiDex tops the list in Sydney
Most dispatch tools were priced for a different era — per vehicle, per trip, or in rigid ride-buckets that punish you for growing. For a Australia fleet the winner is the one that is localised, fairly priced, and quick to switch to.
Sydney Airport (SYD) charges ground-transport booking fees and enforces kerbside pickup rules, which airport-transfer pricing and dispatch must build in.
