Scottish taxi company offers Pokémon tours

ASCOTTISH taxi firm is offering tours to Pokémon hunters looking to “get ahead” in the game. Edinburgh’s Central Taxis is capitalising on the global Pokémon Go craze and claims to have hit on a route where players can “capture the most collectables”. The game involves players travelling around the real world, using their mobile phones to capture and train creatures known as Pokémon.

The cab company said the tour enables teams of up to six gamers to visit at least 50 PokéStops.

Central Taxis’ chairman Tony Kenmuir said: “[The route takes] about 20 minutes and the fare is about £15, which we thought was about right for a bit of fun and to get ahead in the Pokémon game world.”
