Taxi Driver Online

yes exactly my point, trouble is we spend so much time objecting and it realy is [edited by admin] in the wind.

I did put a scheme up and yes its won, but I still have to tender for it.

you said arriva won the bid is that enough explanation, we no it isnt listen friend this machine we are working on to communicate is very powerfull, and you can take on the giants and win.

but you need a little help, first of all dont talk to the no change merchants who will sit on rank for 15 years moaning go and read the transport plan find the public transport problems and solve them!

no cash? then tell them so and you may be suprised at the outcome!

Ther thread started about fear of someones dream,
fear of what could happen to the local team,
first of all lets swift to bless.
and get all your fears off your chest,

read the articel from beggining to end,
and do calculations of all to send,
a bus in 3 minutes is that so real?
30,000 taxis cannot do the deal.

then calculate the take from the bus,
how much can it do without a fuss?
about the passengers will they be on time?
experts on running taxibuses say no thats fine.

then we move the debate to government grant,
which is only given if there need nobody cant
it will wipe us out goes the hue and cry,
even though we couldnt cover the need if we try,

lets be realistic about this case,
the buses have more rules and need a base,
if we can do this job we need to say,
and get the subsidy to make it pay,

times are changing as they must,
but there is deline for years by those who bus,
car numbers are far too high,
so nows your chance to reach for the sky.

Paddington Bill.

Paddington Bill, you can be exceedingly brilliant sometimes.

As I recollect (and I may be wrong), didn't the giants win in Cambridge when a taxi company started a rival taxibus scheme? I heard that the taxi company was anhialated... Wiped out and hospitalised.

Having had a look at the members list the top poster is the man from Sussex

So we have the Sussex Man who would have no limits
So fed up with it he agreed with the OFT in under one minute
A man after my own heart, but alas with his logic and reason
Many on here see it as some form of treason.

Then we have good old Dusty Bin nobody tells him
That’s because he is one of the sites admin’s
Which is no mean feat, but don’t cross him or he may simply press delete.
His wisdom and intellect are much to admire, he must be a joy to hire.

Next up is wharfie; he’s posted 480, although not so much lately,
Unless he’s posting as Guest, but with his knowledge you can rest assured
You’re in with the best; he seems to be a legal eagle and must have to spend a lot
Of time at home, as it takes time to read those legal tomes.

There’s andy7 he’s from Essex, another fine man, although I fear he
May drive a converted van, I may be wrong but I think that is where the 7 comes
From, but with andy7 you might as well be in taxi heaven.

What about Alex another one of the site administrator’s, not as prolific as the Bin
But we don’t hold that against him, for it is not a sin.
As he and Dusty wrestle with the many intricate issue’s that affect us all, Alex always
Seems to be on the ball, Alex and Dusty deserve our utmost respect for without them
We could not debate the things we hate.

Nidge he’s in with 83, another lovely bloke, working those hours he wont go broke.
He is truly a gent, but that is his particular bent.

Mick Pollard is next with 75 but for him posting is no skive, I think Mick wants
Limits on plates, at least in his neck of the woods, as to many may mean the jobs no
Good, so he and Sussex Man are Poles apart but both have a place in my heart.

Then we have Scanner with his 48 musings on the ins and outs of the taxi trade foibles and the like, but with his anecdotes we wont tell him to get on his bike.

What about Paddington Bill our very own Poet Laureate, a veritable genius of verse?
Unlike me, who most will now know am probably just very terse.

Then there are all those who post under the name Guest, some view them as a pest.
I like to be a guest as it means I can remain hidden from the public eye, as I fear to
Many now want to pry.

Well that was a very nice try,
though your verse makes me cry,
you have failed the very test,
that would make you the very best,

studying the statistics of those that post,
you only mention those that have most,
what about those that have a few,
guiding us in what to do.

you are sensible to post as guest,
especialy if you cant achieve the best,
at least youl avoid the discrimative men,
that go for poster now and then,

end you lines with words that rhyme,
then your poet will surface all the time,
your command of english of words that mean,
can change throughout the scene,

can I wish you the best of luck,
as you play with rhyme, and write a book.
its not that easy you will agree,
if a poet you want to be.

Paddington Bill

Nope I will leave it to you bill ,it's very taxing on the brain this poetry lark,and I thought it would be a walk in the park

Nice ones guys

The only thing drawback about people not registering or leaving a moniker is tha you can't readily connect their posts and see them in the proper context.

Or expose their inconsistencies

Dusty

on the other hand the uks biggest taxi opperator is first bus, firms bought to get thier bus routes. 800 taxis in all.

If they have 800, that will make them fourth, after London's big three.

.


you dont understand, first own all the taxis

How is that "on the other hand"?

It'sjust another example of the big bus firms' absolute muscle.

At least First Bus do it (on the whole) legally. But I do not believe that is an adjective that can be inferred upon all bus companies.
