Magnetic Cabs Boost 4th Army Cab Dispatch Efficiency
At Fort Sill the 4th U.S. Army awards Post Taxi a management improvement for using magnets shaped like cars on a garrison map to show taxi locations and status. Red for waiting, green for en route, blue for multiple stops. The system slashes deadhead trips and cuts passenger wait times from about 20 minutes to five, saving an estimated $5,000 annually.
