In the past, taxi booking can be a hassle. Consumers must queue at one of the designated taxi stands, hail a taxi by the roadside or dial through a specific phone-based booking hotlines. However, with the recent agglomeration and proliferation of three important technologies (e.g. 4G, GPS and smartphone devices), taxi booking has never been easier. Today, consumers can book a taxi using one of the available apps in their smartphone. This new technology innovation is known as mobile taxi (m-taxi). Although there are huge potential of adopting m-taxi, surprisingly little research was conducted on the acceptance of consumers. The study intends to close the research gap by proposing a conceptual model on the motivation of consumer to adopt m-taxi. The study serves valuable information to scholars and also practitioners such as mobile software developers, policymakers and tourism-related organisations who wish to integrate m-taxi as part of their business and marketing strategies.

移动出租车可以重新定义运输行业吗？消费者视角的系统文献综述

过去，出租车预订可能很麻烦。消费者必须在指定的出租车站之一排队，在路边乘出租车或通过特定的电话预订热线拨打电话。但是，随着最近三大重要技术（例如4G，GPS和智能手机设备）的聚集和扩散，出租车预订从未如此简单。如今，消费者可以使用智能手机中的可用应用程序之一预订出租车。这项新技术创新被称为移动出租车（m-taxi）。尽管采用m-taxi的潜力巨大，但令人惊讶的是，很少有关于接受消费者的研究。该研究旨在通过提出关于消费者采用m-taxi动机的概念模型来缩小研究差距。
