Taxi Driver Online

Kaiser iv never paid for a job in my life , never had a permit for strain station or the airport , you don't need to pay for work only wee pretend tycoon 's like you would pay to work.

I was under the impression that you had the GetTaxi App!!

Yes I pay as you go , it's the way ahead .

So you do pay for work. Saul Saul Saul. This is becoming embarrassing.

For you rich not I , busy busy busy get the app

I'm glad you are busy Saul. Do you think you will make more money from the App than you did at the Airport?

Jesus Saul I leave you alone for 5 mins and look at the trouble you cause.

Getaxi set their own cheaper rates at Christmas in other cities......

You ok with that Saul?

Based on the last 3 months radio work from City Cabs it cost me, on average, 8% on each job to cover my radio dues.
This means, to explain it in simple terms, every radio job I got if I put 8% of the fare aside this covered my radio dues, including the airport permit.

I do realise that this is not on a "pay as you go" basis and I, along with the drivers on the taxi, are all "radio workers".

So tell me why is this method of work being classed as "paid for work" when "pay as you go" isn't. I do accept that the attraction for Pay as you Go means you can dip in and out of the circuit you have downloaded whenever you like but surely that means there will be difficulty in covering the work as Street Cars sign off to work the streets during the busy periods. I just cannot see a Street Car bypassing street work to service Get Taxi customers. If they have that mentality then why not join an established radio company and pay less per job.

No more porkies allowed.

Ha ha I don't cause trouble , btw rich I've never had an airport permit , wouldn't take one if they were free , you see some of us real cabbies could not stomach sitting anywhere near your friends .

I don't think you are in a position to judge others.

Saul, this really is becoming tedious. I wonder if it is possible for you to give an indication as to why GetTaxi is so good?

Have you dropped a clanger?

What qualification do you have to judge others?

The Private Hire are here and not going away Saul whether you like it or not.

In my humble opinion I think Uber will take their majority of cars if they target aggressively.

Stomach what?? A percentage of those PH drivers are ex black drivers.


Now Saul why don't you just man up and tell us all your gripe cause this is becoming like arguing with the wonderful Mrs A.


I almost expect you to reply......nothing is wrong, well if you don't know what's wrong you never will

I've just taken time to read over your posts Saul. You have never been in a radio company? You have never had a permit from City Cabs out at the Airport?

Are both of those statements true Saul?

The discussion on this post and others on this site reflects the challenges that face our trades future.

The taxi business is gradually being dragged out of the vacuum that is has existed in for many years whether we like it or not. The competition may come from the Private Hire sector or it may come from the Venture Capitalists investing in the App companies.

The Public Hire sector that will flourish and continue to succeed will be those who embrace technology and have a belief in their own ability to provide a service to the public when they need it.

Regulation and restriction is a good thing and these help maintain a standard in both drivers and vehicles, however these two factors can, when over used by Local Authorities, cause our trade to look backward and dig our heels in rather than putting our energies into improving our working practices.

If we firmly believe in the product we are selling then we should have nothing to fear.
It is this attitude that helped City Cabs win the Airport contract for the Public Hire.

Putting the politics of it all to one side I can never understand why anyone can object, or appeal against, someone doing something that they were more than willing to do themselves. Especially if it involves legal actions and the potential level of costs that are being discussed at the moment. The old saying of "what goes around often comes around" applies here.
How you can sit round a table and thump your fist up an down about the injustice of it all knowing you intended to do the same thing yourself that you are now objecting to.
Taking legal action against someone else supplying a service you had recently offered to supply yourself just because you lost out suggests being on shaky ground. Initiating legal action from a "shaky ground" position is never a good idea.
