Cutting each others' throats is never a good plan. If it works, everyone else will follow suit or even undercut them. Only winner is Joe Public.

He won't last long.

People will phone him and try him out because he's cheap "but" when he starts running late and fails to pick passengers up etc etc he'll be on his backside in no time. I've seen it happen in our town where firms set up offering runs to hear there and everywhere for next to nothing, they can't keep it up for long.

There's an old saying, "you get what you pay for".

In your other thread you wanted to join the hacks to earn more, get all the drivers to refuse to charge less then you will
or you could ask the council to fit meters
