Ordering a taxi service can be a laborious task if there is no information available at the right time. For tourists or people who travel regularly, this activity has become more difficult. The growing trend of mobile phones in recent years has enabled the emergence of a new market for mobile applications, where devices have their own daily activities to assist its user, anywhere. In this context, this paper aims to propose a prototype information system for mobile devices that use the platform Android able to make the process of requesting taxi service easier and faster. Through a GPS signal receiver installed on the phone, the user can view your location on a map provided by Google Maps service, Google Maps. The locations of taxi stands closer to the user are plotted on the map. With a few taps on the screen, the user can access various information for a particular taxi stand, and can also make phone calls, or through text messages to a taxi stand in your best interest. In order to prove the efficiency of the system developed, evaluations were carried out with end users through questionnaires. The results showed that the prototype achieved its goal of creating a service via mobile devices to provide better facilities for users of taxis.
