S.RIDE

S.RIDE is a taxi app designed for busy people in Tokyo who need a faster, easier way to get around the city. With one swipe, you can hail a taxi from one of Tokyo's largest networks and have the nearest vehicle dispatched to your location in minutes.

Hailing a taxi has never been simpler. Launch the app and request a ride with a single action—no complicated booking process or back-and-forth coordination needed. The app automatically detects the closest safe pick-up point on a nearby road, so you don't have to worry about finding the exact spot to meet your driver. While you wait, the estimated dispatch time appears on screen, giving you time to enter your destination and plan your route. If anything changes, you can send quick messages directly to your driver with details about your pick-up location or any other information they need to know.

Payment is fast and hassle-free. Pre-register your credit card (VISA, MasterCard, JCB, American Express, or Diners Club) to skip the awkward moment of fumbling for cash or cards when you reach your destination. For taxis picked up from the street or a taxi rank, use the S.RIDE Wallet feature—simply scan the QR code on the tablet in the back seat and pay through the app. You'll have access to your ride history and usage statements anytime, so you always have a record of your trips for expense reports or personal records.

Speed matters when you're in a hurry. The app connects you with taxis from Tokyo's largest fleet, ensuring the closest available vehicle reaches you quickly. This means less waiting time and smoother journeys across the city.

Service covers Tokyo's 23 central wards plus surrounding cities including Musashino, Mitaka, Nishi Tokyo, Tachikawa, Tama, Inagi, Akishima, Kunitachi, Kokubunji, select areas of Yokohama, and Nagoya. The app partners with major taxi companies including GREEN CAB, Kokusai Motorcars, Kotobuki Kotsu, Daiwa Motor Transportation, Checker Cab, Greater Tokyo Privately Owned Taxi Co-operative Society, and Meitetsu Taxi Holdings.

Note that GPS and push notifications must be enabled on your device for the app to work. Dispatch times are estimates and may vary based on traffic and demand. Pick-up surcharges apply as per individual taxi company policies. Some companies may have limitations on online payment, messaging, or destination input after dispatch is confirmed.
