The Lotus Group, a seven-year-old Warrensburg company, is adding a taxi service to its list of ventures that includes an automotive repair shop, a construction company, a property management company, a nutracueticals line, a learning center and daycare, a dog grooming salon, a fine dining restaurant and a truck and auto supply store.<\/p>\n
The company has purchased Anytime Taxi from Rich Pennock, who will remain a partner in the business and oversee operations, Lotus officials said in a new release.<\/p>\n
According to the company, the taxi company will give visitors to Warren County better access to areas north of Lake George.<\/p>\n
Lotus Group CEO Ash Anand said his company “had several calls and emails, as well as anonymous surveys, noting that service going farther than Lake George Village was out of a lot of people’s price range.”<\/p>\n
He said in order to best serve customers Anytime Taxi will operate stations in Queensbury and Warrensburg. Taxis will move from both stations, in any direction, “lowering unreasonable rates and reducing wait times.”
\nLotus is in the process of launching an app that will allow riders to take advantage of a pick up\/drop off service, schedule weekly or bi-weekly appointments and track cab arrival time.<\/p>\n
Another feature the company is strong on, Anand said, is doing a thorough background check for all employees.<\/p>\n
“Background checks will make sure there are no hiccups on a driver’s license, in their criminal history, and will verify employment experience in the field,” Anand said, so that customers can feel safe and assured that they are riding with an experienced driver.<\/p>\n
The company said Anytime Taxi is just the first part of a transportation initiative it plans to expand on this year.<\/p>\n
