A new and improved version of zTrip – the popular smartphone app that enables riders to book a black car or taxi for now or later – will be launched in Pittsburgh today.

Area residents will get their first look at the new app at two festivals being held this weekend. Attendees at the Layer Cake Music Fest, being held June 3-4 at four venues in Pittsburgh (James St. Gastropub, Mr. Smalls, Spirit Lounge, and Cattivo), will be able to take advantage of the new app by entering the code PGH10. Customers who enter the code will receive $10 off their first ride with zTrip.

The new zTrip app will also be promoted throughout Pittsburgh’s PRIDE Week (June 3-12), culminating in a promotion by Just Joe King at the PRIDE Parade on June 12. zTrip will also be promoting safe rides during Thursday’s pool party, Friday’s bar crawl, and Saturday’s pre-party. During PRIDE Week, customers can enter code PGH10 to receive $10 off their first ride with zTrip.

zTrip users will be able to hail a cab or black car on the street, or book a ride for now or later by phone or with the zTrip app. This means no waiting on the curb for a car to arrive. Users also won’t have to wait to make transportation arrangements until the last minute. They can book a black car on aTuesday for a trip they need to make on Friday morning.

zTrip stands out from competing services by providing features such as:

• No surge pricing – zTrip offers the same low price every time, regardless of the day of the week or whether it’s 2 p.m. or 2 a.m.;
• Professional, licensed, full-time drivers – zTrip drivers are fully insured and have undergone full fingerprint and background checks, so riders don’t have to worry about who is driving them home;
• 24/7 live customer service – zTrip offers users a live support team via email or phone anytime.
