Taxi Driver Online

I'm sure you can work out the Two answers Cab Happy

My bank details are much safer where they are thank you very much, Uber as I've shown have a massive target on their back, it reads, HACK ME

Uber upon signing up as a customer require your bank details, what you describe is what we use just now, local apps such as the Cordic one provided, do the same job as the Uber App, these are the kind of App we as a trade should be getting behind, not jumping in to bed with the likes of Uber, a company who does dilute a drivers earnings and at any cost, a company that just shrugs of customer complaints, a company that cannot guarantee customer safety, a company that can be duped by infiltrators who just want to attack single women and/or even worse commit an act of terrorism, a company that uses dirty tactics against anyone giving them bad press, a company that uses dirty tactics to wipe out the competition, a company that cannot be trusted with your details or you or your customers whereabouts, a company willing to hold bad against you and your customers, a company that doesn't care is a company that cannot be trusted, we should be getting behind an App like the Cordic Smart Booker 2, it does the job, the Cordic App has never let me or my punter down but it's not a big part of our business, the App market in Edinburgh is small, it's growing but the Cordic App is sufficent.

I'm not rattled by Uber, they haven't been granted a booking office licence as yet, all the bad press though has come in handy

Until they do though it's onwards and upwards but we are ready, the Cordic App is a match for any App out there, so come on Cab Happy provide a link to an App that beats the Cordic App I've provided, Uber excluded

And that's the thanks I get for trying to help you out with your future employer...

You see, Uber is only using fully licensed drivers and vehicles so what's the problem?

Its not a cheap app, £400 return for £500 earned before rental or running costs off vehicle,fuel subtracted etc.
Make more you subtract more as its a percentage, a radio could end up as cheap.
Apps will come into play and im all for them, not uber tho.
Too expensive and too much controversy.

I use Cab App in Aberdeen but slow in getting g off the ground. If Uber does only use licenced taxi and PH I don't really see the problem.
Cab App uses only licenced Hackney drivers .
I'm maybe wrong by a long shot but I thought Uber used non taxi and ph drivers??
Will have to check Uber out properly but for a street car Uber or any similar app would be a bonus to their normal work pattern.

I can see that becoming Uber's problem.

Well, first they would have to determine what exactly is "overprovision" by carrying out a survey and they've never done it before.

that's a really interesting point - but how does the council determine provision?

It's cheap by comparison when you are forced to pay radio dues, months in advance for work you've not actually realised. Oh and don't forget you are not paying for work when not out working.

I would have thought an app like Uber, would be a godsend for street cars when things are quiet? And it's not like anyone is forcing you to work the app when the streets are busy.

By determining there is no unmet demand I would imagine?

I agree....

We have plenty of examples of taxi demand surveys returning the results that they were paid to find. I dare say a council seeking to limit PHC plates would have little trouble the same thing.

61 would give them all the right to set an entry criteria - knowledge test etc - which could be as easy or as hard as they want it to be.

Between 60 and 61, Uber could struggle to put new vehicles on the road, leaving them competing with the rest for the existing pool of vehicles and drivers.
Staying within the rules could seriously limit their potential to flood a market.......
