Grumpy's got it about right for here in Ayr.

Week days: School Runs ~ Now under threat. 2 trains an hour from Glasgow ~ mostly Commuters who are picked up by Spouse but frequently there are 2 or 3 journeys per train. Otherwise the only people who seem to be able to afford a Taxi are on the Brew and live on one, or other, of the Local Sink Estates.

Otherwise Pub Closing time and then the Clubbers between Midnight and 3am ~ Fri, Sat, Sun.


So how does hiking fares, making the service even more expensive attract customers?

Go on. Explain it to us. We're waiting.

:badgrin:

Prices evolve and i hear your ph mates are dropping the 30% discounted meters :wink: They too are increasing their fares to cover increased costs. 10% increase on a £5 fare is only 50p, insignificant to 6 punters but significant to us the cabbies, i think your just stirring for the sake of stirring Jasbar :roll: :roll: :roll:

When you getting your plate :roll:

much as I'd like to answer/respond to your points, I won't indulge you in, what would only be, an exercise in futility. I can accept your perception of the trade is clouded by your own situation/experience. That's for you to resolve by whatever means. Meanwhile I'll carry on trying to provide, as best I can, the needs of my family and my customers. In the hope that, somewhere, there's a wee bit left for me.
