We have just been given the right to charge fare and a half for bank holidays and a section ot the trade are up in arms, before this we charged 80p per journey on top of the normal fare, which came up in the extras on the meter. We are all hackneys, so could always round the fare down if did not feel it right to charge, what do others charge for bank holidays?

I'm PH and we only have Christmas day + Boxing day, New years eve +day all time and a half and that's it. We have a weekend card and a midweek card, sunday's up until a couple of years ago was on the midweek card and you would make more money then than now, nothing to do with falling cussys but it just causes more drivers to come out to work so increasing prices doesn't always work.

Don't charge time and a half at anytime other than Xmas and Boxing Day.

Double on New Year's Eve.

Think time and a half is a bit much personally for Bank Holidays, and might lose you quite a few punters to the PH side of the trade, or the buses. :?

That sounds as if you're not using calendar controlled meters.
