Hey guys, just a quick informative post, we've launched OnwardTaxiSolutions.com, passengers login and type in their booking details, you get the chance to bid on that hire, and all for free for now! Only condition is that you have downloaded vToms driver and login in the app. If you win the bid, booking details can be viewed inside the app. Once beta testing is complete, there will be a small fixed fee of £2.50 to participate in any auctions for the next 24 hours. Have a look, any questions please get back to me. Thanks

"sit back & watch the bidding begin" Translation: sit back & watch drivers who are trying to make a living undercutting each other so they can get a fare, why cant the general public just pay what's on the meter ffs, this must be the only industry where you can do this, really pi$$es me off this like, the public want it for nothing & the drivers just play along, its unbelievable ,PH offices offering set fares cheaper than there local rivals etc, why don't they just get there heads together & both say no set fares ? the punters cant go to far away as the out of the region would just say that's not our area & not send a car, even if they tried the driver would probably say " not doing that, its not our area & not cost effective, its gonna cost me !" honestly, taxi drivers must be the most gullible fookers on the planet !

so what am i missing here then with the "bidding" part ? , so for example, i open a auction to go from lets say Newcastle to Manchester, drivers start bidding , i stop the bidding at the price you have bid & im happy with it , for example you bid £100, you pick me up from Newcastle , why would you put your meter on then ? you won my fare for £100??

Theres no winners in a Price war, Bidding like this only ensures lowest priced shmuck wins and loses all at the same time and punters then think a realistic price is a high price.
