Not all drivers are desperate but some are. Some will pass street jhails to pick up My Taxi passengers for fear of not getting their gold status.

Erm drivers aren't all desperate.Remember that.No need to offer concessions when yer winning.Mytaxis reputation is in the toilet bowl.Any improvement in service times will be welcomed by passengers IMO.

Drivers are winning all right we are not getting the PUC .All we are doing is asking lads what they think .

The only ones losing out are the ones covering the work without a PUC.I'd entertain them if they weren't ignoring us for the last 3 years.

I'm thinking of giving mybollix a lash.
how does it work.
How far do you have to travel on average to pick a cunt up.
Thanks lads.

If you become an Ambassador i think the passenger has to come to you....otherwise you'll be offered jobs up to 6.5 kms away,any jobs from Metres to 1km away,they'll tease you with the offer....but there'll always be someone closer...but the job offers from 2.5-6.5 kms away...you'll always be the nearest...that's the way they roll!!
Can you cancel runs that are too far away.
And if so are you penalised or locked out of the game if you do it too many times.

Yep....that was mentioned on Roys kip and the "hospitality" charge goes back to the hotel,a business that can charge what the fuk they like with no regulation with regard to prices,just check prices for All Ireland weekend or any weekend for that matter,not that you'll get a room anyway,
Still annoying all the same that they see it as ok to apply it in this instance,i do remember when i was with C2K that it was rumoured that Anto paid hotels quite handsomely for their custom,probably still does seeing as their cars are permanently outside the Crowne Plaza Santry.

how big a piece of the cake do they take and how long are you waiting for the bread to be deposited in to your account.

[/uote]Was your cheque for 40E hidden in the secret notebook?Did Rats spend the 40E plying you with drink in Toners  or is young (not arrogant) Tim spending in the Slbourne as we speak?

Driver I dont think the Rodent would pocket me Bobo although he did suffer a minor setback in Paddy Powers on the day but you know the Rodent finds good in everything although he gave Paddy a few quid he did get a Paddy Power biro to add to his Mytaxi one and he got a FREE cup of coffee from the coffee machine in the bookies that machine is placed just beside the jacks door .I wonder how many unwashed hands that had just pointed a cheesy mickey at the potty used that coffee machine that the Rodent got the FREE coffee from .Doubt the coffee was even germ FREE . rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl

I wouldn't say it was a waste of time, TD... but, as noted before attending, there wasn't really anything said that couldn't have been dealt with online although you do, arguably, get a better idea of their underlying views in general terms from face to face contact. It was interesting to learn how they view DAA, they'd probably have to be more diplomatic on paper in that case and I got the impression that their approach to covering increased demand going forward doesn't need to create as much conflict with drivers as I might have thought.

To expand on the latter, it's useful to consider Gett's approach - ignoring the fact that Gett has yet to launch in Dublin. In Russia, in particular, Gett has encouraged new entrants with finance deals on Polos, Rapids and Octavias. The underlying difference between Daimler's approach to rideshare and VWs approach is that VW isn't just interested in harvesting data for future projects it wants a shorter term return from selling cars to the hundreds of thousands of (potential) car owners that use the driver apps. The same can be said of other manufacturers with Toyota's interest in Uber probably being the most prominent example. As far as our market is concerned Daimler would have to heavily discount it's motors to make them attractive to existing drivers or new entrants hence mytaxi is more open to promoting better utilisation of the existing fleet perhaps through the reintroduction of Cosies. Of course this approach sits well with the underlying principles of rideshare/car sharing/etc.

Better the devil you know?

How about I keep the 2 euro as the law says I can ?
This way I don't end up homeless

To "keep" something one must have it. Drivers who play by the rules don't have anything to keep. I thought about suggesting a charity element at the meeting but thought better of it opting to run it by drivers on here first. As it seems the erm is the only other driver to support the idea I won't bother putting it to the firm.

However, I've thrown the idea out there, maybe someone else will pick up on it. I note that the new driver focussed app is going to launch with no PUC and is going to consider introducing half a PUC next year, I guess it may be interested in considering alternatives.
