Come on Reggie you can do better than that. Steady your trembling knees and man up. No one is trying to take the jam out of yer dough nought.

Do some research and find out the facts then you might be in a position to have a think about what you are posting.

You got one thing right customers just want to get from A to B. sometimes cost in mind sometimes not. So you do know something.

Apps are all at entry level right now and will get better all the time. And improvements and upgrades will need to be paid for, will your dispatch system continue to fund improvements. Does their business model stand up to scrutiny, charging mega money to a limited numbers of circuits/ coops / companies who then pass on the costs to the drivers. I dont know just asking.

There's still lots of life in the telephone systems yet and will be for some time,

Cabapp ain't in competition for drivers, they ain't stopping you using it whilst working for a circuit. There is no need for the 'bring it on' machismo either. In the fight for survival of the taxi trade we are all on the same slippery slope and cabapp is just giving us a tool if we want to use it. Credit cards yep I take them sir. Take the job, don't take it and someone else will. No hassle. How many on your circuit 1000 drivers. Pretty big, must give you a bit of pull for the best deals eh?
cab:app way beyond that already and potential is out of sight, and it is offered on a plate.
Which is maybe why driver numbers are growing steadily, even in Edinburgh.


Hope this helps you sleep a little easier Reggie,

Nope, no pusher here, I am just user who is now more in the game than you think. Im now beating most, if not all, card company charges for the customers benefit.
I now do not have to pass back jobs cos of lack of card machine and I don't even lose cash to have one. I am now a better player of the game than you I bet.

I am an independant driver who pays no rental of car or radio, I pay no card machine company. All the money I make is Mine all Mine, Muwahuhuh!.

Now, pray tell me your part in your so called "The Game". Do you rent, hire a cab, (illegaly hire someones plate or vehicle with one) pay a company radio dues, pay for a card machine etc! let me know if you are playing "The Game" for you or on behalf of someone else!

I look forward to yer responce PR
Responding to someone who put Fanny&adams together is quite weird, you could one or the other :wink:

Most know me on here, they know how I have played and play the game, I've played all the games a cabbie could play, let's say, your game, I got bored :roll:

You keep on promoting the wonder app, I'm thinking promote too dilute myself, the more the less, you seem to not understand our customers, they just want a cab, if i let them down they will phone you and it's the same over and over again, it's customers play their game too you know :wink:

If the App was so wonderful our call centres would be surplus by now, I'm only talking Edinburgh here, my comment others need not apply was tongue in cheek but we have both Android and I-phone App that is supported by a market leader in dispatch systems, that means we don't have to worry about updates and bugs and the cost that incurs, if I was a customer I would use a company with huge support and back up, a tried and trusted operation, all I'm saying is we are well established and at the moment with no app competition, we are not attractive to the big boys because Edinburgh is small fry compared to and as you alluded to the bigger city.

That proves that by promoting cab app you are effectively diluting your opportunity of work, the more cabbies who sign up knowing there is serious competition out there the less work you obtain, carry on believing though and I hope it works for in your area, it's a nice earner for me but insignificant overall, my options are covered and happy to play :D

Is Cab Happy your wee brother, he was calling for you earlier in the thread, you answered like a true horseman, charging straight in there, go on my old fannyadams #fannyadams :lol:
Please give me an answer to my questions.
