Cab Fare Payment with Credit Cards an Amos Tamam Invention
Amos Tamam has a long history of solving problems for taxi fleet owners. He began his career in the industry repairing taxis. Years later he was head of the development team to create the first credit card taxi meter. In 2005, he created Verifone Transportation Systems, Inc., a mobile payment and transportation automation solutions enterprise.
Amos Tamam is the person responsible for creating the first credit card taxi meter. He was head of the development group that worked on this plan back in 1992. Subsequently, in 1997, he headed the development of another technological device. This device merged voice reminder, emergency light, pulse divider, roof light, signal lights, relay, and a taximeter connection on one circuit board.
In 1998, Amos Tamam played a major role in the development of the Taxitronic (TX36), an innovative taximeter. He created Verifone Transportation Systems, Inc. in 2005, and is CEO of the company. Verifone provides wireless credit card taxi payment systems for taxi fleets in New York City and Philadelphia. Amos Tamam is working to bring this system to taxi fleets in other U.S. city centers.
His creations in the taxi industry originate from his wide-ranging experience working with and for fleet owners. Amos Tamam first implemented his electrical engineering training to repairing taxis, nearly thirty years ago. He then worked on taxi meters and systems to further fleet management and fuel management. However, his major achievement was his innovative development of the wireless, cashless payment system for fleet owners. Today, cab drivers in the aforementioned cities can operate more efficiently and safely.
With decades of experience in the taxi fleet industry behind him, Amos Tamam is looking forward to new opportunities. His electrical engineering education and real-world working experience are the foundation that allows him to systematically and creatively innovate. His goal is to continually provide options to help taxi fleet owners operate cost-effectively.
