blackpool is now a very poor town and money is scarce,taxis are a luxury in general especially at the prices we charge.1 company here is allegedly slightly cheaper ie 30p on the start meter and no tarriff 3 and believe me hes getting a lot of work.we have to be expensive coz we sit around far too much.we could drop our prices and earn a lot more money in my opinion.the other company would struggle to beat us as his fees for drivers are twice as much and if he tried to match us would have a mutiny on his hands.

i know it wouldnt happen but we should do £1.90 meter start tarriff 1 24hrs 7 days a week 365 days a year.we would be over run with work we wud earn more our shares would be worth a lot more as everyone wud want to work for us.the problem is the drivers on our company cant see the trees for the woods.

we also have alot of hackneys and they wouldnt agree to the prices i have suggested BUT those prices are for prebooked jobs not rank.

so how come TDO's very own Blackpool wont take a fare out of the town itself?...

All this explains nothing. What shares? How much settle do you pay? Who sets the prices? What is the current tariff for ph and taxis? Are they the same? It's all very confusing in so far as you talk about 'his' fees and shares at the same time. To be I wouldn't have flag of £1.90 either I don't think it's necessary

toots i typed a long reply to your pm but cudnt send it.

I respect your views ,but come on 1.90 ? Everythings going up so why should we go back ? It wont stop your round the corner jobs, dont envy sitting for a hour plus for 1.90. In reply to wanna i choose if i want to go out of town, if they pay me what i think i want i go simple .

how do they know, are they mind readers?............

There is a good case for lowering fares if you can get enough new work.

Would you rather do two £6 jobs an hour, or four £5 jobs?

Get it right and you are on a winner, but it ain't guaranteed.

Know what your saying but it isnt like that here,thers allready enough discounting go any lower and you wont earn feck all ! Wanna if they pay what i ask i go ,if not they go somewhere else.How difficult is that to comprehend ?

the reason we are sat about to mu0ch is we are too expensive

In your view maybe ,i dont . If that was the case why would you not join the opposition with cheaper fares ? Good luck whatever you do its dog eat dog out there
