Taxi Driver Online

Les the above is bollocks!!

Not only have you admitted to failing to properly inform your shareholders of a serious threat to their company of which you were fully aware but as an office-bearer, you have admitted to an act of negligence and a dereliction of your duty under company law.

This is a criminal offence.


You are nuts Les....

You really have to try and let things go.
You were awarded a taxi Operators Licence on two occasions by the City of Edinburgh Council and you chose to sell them both for a tidy profit. You went back a third time and because Edinburgh city centre was full of taxis and private hire vehicles the Council had decided to reintroduce a restriction. Your third application was declined. This along with the decision by the Council to withdraw your taxi drivers licence has made you a bitter person towards the whole trade and everyone in it.
I think this is probably, sadly, a natural reaction for many but to keep it up for this period of time is a concern.
I really do recommend "Stop Thinking Start Living", no disrespect intended, but if you don't have £6.49 private message me your address and I will gladly send you my copy.

You may well think that The Democratising of Transportation is a good thing and that the way forward for our trade is that anyone with an e-mail address can download an App, as is happening now in Edinburgh, and overnight become a taxi/private hire driver, without any thought for the Public Safety issues that would surely follow. I again refer to some of the links above detailing horror stories. The bottom line is you messed things up for yourself as a taxi driver now you have a mission in life to mess it up for everyone else.

Now I want you to sit down and be still for a few minutes and think about this. Do you really think that I should resign because you say so?

Happiness is like a Butterfly
The more you chase it the more it will delude you
Stand still for a minute or two.
Be at peace
And it will come and settle on your shoulder.

Les I think you should resign because at the very least you are incompetent and at worst criminal.

City Cabs faces the greatest threat to existence in the history of the company of which you were fully aware but you take it upon yourself not to inform its shareholders?

You do realise that under company law it is your responsibility to keep the members fully informed of any major threat to their company?

And what is more, don't you thing they had a right to know?

Gary your way off the Mark with your comments, no one could have predicted the total disregard Uber has for regulation, this disregard is causing the threat, City Cabs have lead by the front in dealing with the impending threat, 3 years we have had an App, it's well established, I personally have been on the Uber case for at least 3years, I highlighted it to Kenny during the Scot Gov consultation on Taxis, that was back in 2012.

One things for sure Uber play hard ball but at the moment it's our ball, we are armed with much info on Ubers total disregard for regulation, we also know their strategy, we are ready to counter.

You are making this judgement from a position where you have little knowledge of City Cabs.
I am happy for our members to make their minds up regarding my performance.

what about city cabs treatment of the street cars , put the airport permit up and tell them they cant have the app, street cars are needed at the airport and should not be pushed out the door

Nobody is pushing.

You should be thankful City Cabs secured the contract and let the street cars in.

The same shareholders who some won't even promote their own business?? bumper adds etc etc.

You can be negligent in running the company Skull but you can't be held accountable if a global app moves into town.

Anyway we've seen of Getaxi and Uber will be next.

I think City Cabs offered the street cars a great opportunity to earn money working the Airport by offering them the chance to take a permit. The choice was of course the Owner of the street car whether they wanted the permit or not. If City Cabs need to increase the cost of the permit then that is a commercial decision. The street cars have the choice to keep the permit or not. As for your comment regarding the App. Why would City Cabs want to have street car taxis sitting on the Main Rank advertising GetTaxi? The owner of the Taxi has the choice. Keep the permit and work to the rules you signed up to, or if you want to use the App then hand your permit back. I think City Cabs are being very fair about the issue.

Incidentally Pepsi Max, how much do you have to pay GetTaxi per job?

why should i be thankfull ? no company can cover the airport , street cars leave queues get bigger punters go to the other side

never said i had get taxi

You wouldn't have been working the Airport if Central had been successful in securing the Airport Contract. You could also apply to City Cabs to become a full member of the Company?

when city won the airport com cab where offered reduced permits so whats the difference between com cab and app

if i had a spare 7k i would
