"sit back & watch the bidding begin" Translation: sit back & watch drivers who are trying to make a living undercutting each other so they can get a fare, why cant the general public just pay what's on the meter ffs, this must be the only industry where you can do this, really pi$$es me off this like, the public want it for nothing & the drivers just play along, its unbelievable ,PH offices offering set fares cheaper than there local rivals etc, why don't they just get there heads together & both say no set fares ? the punters cant go to far away as the out of the region would just say that's not our area & not send a car, even if they tried the driver would probably say " not doing that, its not our area & not cost effective, its gonna cost me !" honestly, taxi drivers must be the most gullible fookers on the planet !
meters in all cars and use them....
so what am i missing here then with the "bidding" part ? , so for example, i open a auction to go from lets say Newcastle to Manchester, drivers start bidding , i stop the bidding at the price you have bid & im happy with it , for example you bid £100, you pick me up from Newcastle , why would you put your meter on then ? you won my fare for £100??
