I only buy a taxi if the area is limited as then the earnings are good if its a delimited area there are too many cabs and not enough work
My friend is in this taxi bussines he has
3 in halifax
4 in blackburn
4 in preston
These areas are all limited and all 100percent wavs
And he is getting good rent from each driver so I decided to go into the same bussines.
Does it matter if the earnings are good? Do you actually intend to drive the vehicle yourself?
No but if they are limited it will be hard for people to buy so instead they'll just rent and if the earnings arnt good then I don't think that much people will rent.
I drove one last night and tonight an I was impressed on how much a cab driver can make, but the drunks are very anoying when you get into the town too many people hailing you, fights over who was in the cab first, minicabs being hailed illigaly and taxi stand que jumpers. Had a very long, fun and money making few nights.
Don't you just love it soon as you get back into the town after a fare drop off you get people hailing you down instead of you going to the rank
That would be A Friday and a Saturday night....Dont believe for one second that the other 5 Nights or Days of the week will be so good...
I know I heard average 8 to 10 hour shift at night you will be lucky to make a hundred but fridays an saturdays when its about 10pm your going to busy till bout 4 or 5am pick up after pick, people flagging you down everywhere you go average job will be about 7 8 pound, the jobs you pick up from the station are big jobs like 30+
You got to love driving a hackney carriage taxi, its annoying ant tiring but it all pays of at the end of each weekend night.
I don't suppose you see anything wrong with all this?
You make a good argument for delimiting on your own.
No mate
This just goes to show that the cab drivers are making good money
That's why people here are paying 50thousand + for a plate as there's no trade for minicabs
Ever since minicabs have been around they have been a problem plying for hire, touting
I Guess your a minicab driver as every minicab driver whants limited areas delimited as they are jelous of what they are making
I know a lot of minicab drivers but I do not respect one as they are all thieves stealing the taxi trade half of them can't even speak good english
I kmow a few drivers that have been in the minicab trade for over 30 years not one of them has done good in there life why because they drive a minicab
I hate minicab drivers!!!
