FARE PLAY – Ottawa’s dominant taxi dispatcher squares off against mobile upstarts.
From inside a single-storey east-end office, Hanif Patni is figuring out how to stay on top of an industry that some startup entrepreneurs want to make obsolete.
Mr. Patni is the president of Coventry Connections, the company that dominates the Ottawa taxi dispatching market and is making inroads in southern Ontario cities such as St. Catharines and Niagara Falls.
Once it starts dispatching West-Way Taxi cabs later this year, Coventry will be directing more than 1,000 of the approximately 1,200 cabs in Ottawa.
