yup meter ticks over to £1.80 as soon as vehicle moves unfortunately there are certain trade members in grotsville that insist on this they are frightened punters will be put off by a higher flagfall and to be fair a few years ago a couple of locals decided to have their own tariff card with meters set to start at £3.00 but including the first mile within 4 weeks they switched to the default tariff even though they were actually 10p a mile cheaper because punters would not get in their cars
Sounds utterly daft - is there any practical difference between having a zero flagfall of £1.70 and clicking up to £1.80 when car moves off, and one starting at £1.80 and clicking up only after 1/18th of a mile covered?
Would have thought punters more likely to be annoyed by the zero flagfall scenario - the driver activates the meter and literally a second or two later it clicks up ten pence?
And what happens if you only activate the meter once you've moved off?
Does it show the £1.70 or the £1.80?
