Are you nuts? :roll:


night buses got cut during the week due to no demand for them only time there is a demand is the few hours at the weekend just like the taxi trade

FACT


More buses mean less work for the taxi trade.

Now that is a FACT.

How many lunatics in the Edinburgh trade think more buses are a good idea? Apart from Private Reggie that is?

Jim Muldoon, ex-chairman of the Scottish Taxi Federation (STF) he was actually quoted in the Edinburgh Evening News, stating that the council should put on more buses. :shock:

I think this Reggie is Reg Varney from 'On the Buses' fame either that or Pilmar Smith the ex LRT CEO looking for part time work as a driver and trying to promote LRT.
As for influence with the council Reggie dont me me laugh, you are a non-entity regarding that scenario, why post that nonsense on here, in fact who is remotely interested. Lets put it this way if you had influence your New York model would already be in place ma friend!!!!!!!!!!

No sign of Novice then?

Hardly surprising and typical of the trade. Taylor's crazy and got it wrong but no argument coming forth to substantiate this.

And that's always been the problem. The trade can't defend the status quo because it is indefensible. It's fundamentally immoral how our trade is constructed.

Oops I may have got it wrong. The trade has sent an emissary to defend itself.

Dougie.

Doesn't that just sum it all up.

It's time for the council to sort this now. Vested interests need to be put aside. Time for the public to get a fair shake. Time for driver's to get unfettered access to the tools of their trade - if they want to.
