Taxi Driver Online

Wouldn't normally bother with this kind of thing, but if their ages are correct then it would be odd enough if they're both drivers, never mind running the firm

(Although maybe they're just running it as opposed to having any experience as a driver...)

But certainly an, err, motley crew if the photo is anything to go by

Anyway a merger is certainly a bit different from the major players taking over the locals, as per the Luton thread.

But they're also 'community-focused', as well as dementia friendly


Two Keighley firms merge to form new taxi business GoRyde

TWO Keighley taxi firms have amalgamated.

Metro Go Taxis and Ben's Apple Cars have combined to form GoRyde Taxis.

Farhaz Ali, 22, and Awais Khan, 23, are running the new business from Keighley railway station.

An official launch was performed with representatives of Switch Hitters, which the company sponsors.

GoRyde Taxis operates just over 80 vehicles, most of which are hybrid/electric.

Farhaz says: "We've brought together two trusted names that people already know, under one friendly, community-focused brand.

"We have each been proudly serving our community for years, including vital work with the NHS, and are fully approved by Bradford and North Yorkshire councils. We're dedicated to providing the best possible service for the community.

"The launch of the new business is a dream come true for us."

He adds: "We're also committed to a greener Keighley.

"Our fleet is already 99 per cent eco-friendly, and we're aiming for 100 per cent by 2030.

"We have a wide range of vehicles, including wheelchair-accessible, and are proud to be dementia friendly."

It makes sense to join up rather than compete against each other.

Let's hope they make it work.
