Can it get any worse in Milton keynes?
since the council had deregulated taxi numbers times have gone from bad to now worser than ever,
First few years after we got deregulated its was ok as there was still a little work to go around but now its worser than ever as we have not many rank spaces and there are just too many cabs now.
Last year when the survey was done December 2011 there was 217 hackney carriages operating in Milton keynes with rank spaces of 80 now 1 year on theres are now 304 Hackney carriages all fighting for work.
We have a rank outside Mcdonalds in the Centre for 10cabs but youll be waiting around a hour to get a local £4 fare.
The train station is the busiest rank but has space for 100cabs and during the day if you park there you can be waiting 2-3hours+ for a fare you just cant make a decent living anymore were litrally dieing with more cabs coming on the road day by day as people who loose a job just start driving taxi and numbers just keep increasing and increasing.
Currently in working 16hours a day and honestly not even making 50 quid and after fuel and expences not left with anythink.
Is it this bad anywhere else in the country?
Milton Keynes roundabout City populated by numbskulls most of whome drive cabs
Dealt with some of them some years ago and talk about THICK I thought Portsmouth was bad but that shower jasus anyway heres some of the comments received from these pratts
UNIONS ARE TROUBLEMAKERS
YOUR ONLY TRYING TO SELL CARS
BLOODY LEFTIES WE DONT NEED YOU
WE WANT TO TAKE THE LEGAL ROUTE
STRIKES ARE BAD FOR OUR PASSENGERS
WE AINT INTERESTED IN POLITICS
WHY SHOULD WE PAY £3 A WEEK
Really an astute collection this lot, it was plain to see what was coming and it COULD have been stopped POLITICALLY, still they took their decision and now as we can see cry their little whining eyes out. Bankruptcy Homelessness repossessions divorce separation access battles is their REWARD for crass their stupidity it would only have taken 20 or so Drivers to show some COURAGE and it could have been prevented, you had the opportunity!! but declined it welcome to the results of stupidity

lets hope Milton Keynes will serve as an example to others
