e-hail
Digital taxi request
E-hail is to summon a taxi or rideshare vehicle through a smartphone app rather than hailing one on the street: I e-hailed an Uber from the airport.
The term emerged with services like Uber and Lyft that let passengers request rides electronically.
Also used as a noun for the act itself or the technology: e-hail apps, the e-hail industry.
