I can only say that I wish the winner of this auction all the best. This is a great domain name with tremendous potential in the new world of social networking (US) and GPS enabled phones (both taxis and customers).

Description
Taxi.us: short, sweet and to the point.

• The possibilities are endless:
• create a world wide social networking site for taxi and limo services
• build you own world wide taxi company
• provide dispatcher services via cell phones
• hyper-local services
• plot available taxis/limos via Google Maps
• plot available pickups via Google Maps
• set the stage for a world where GPS enabled phones connect taxis and customers
