Well it started quicker then I thought . The Freenow Masters are sitting at home and hit the launch botton.Now drivers are effectively working for free.Let me tell you now, when Virus dies off the World is in recession and Freenow will at a minimum will give passengers 25% of taxifares plus there 15% commission.Look at the free advertising they getting from this!!! and all at the drivers expense.The drivers made them into this so its the drivers fault.I can see other apps following like justeat and deliveroo.Then the New Breadvan fleet will be put to NTA.The thing that annoys me in that article is that drivers clean there cars all the time and door handles.I doubt it .

Joe Herron, president of the Irish Taxi Drivers’ Federation said: “Our services have been badly hit by the virus and our profession is particularly vulnerable, so this Free Now initiative is to be welcomed for multiple reasons.AND YOU PAY THIS CUNT TO REPRESENT YOU .

or things could just go back to normal once this emergency is over. why would any company want to be giving 50% off indefinitely? it wont happen. i dont use free now but i would take this as an insult if i did, putting your life at risk by carrying people who have a good chance of having the virus, for a 50% discount. all free now drivers should cop on and delete the app.
-
I would bet good money the Majority of Free Now drivers still working are Foreign Nationals that do not qualify for the payment as they are on student visas and there fore not full time workers .They are being exploited by these cunts not even allowed earn enough to feed their families .but then again Daimler have a woeful humanitarian rerecord going right back to the Third Reich .
-
And why did Supermarket workers not get it and Gardai and Firemen?.Maybe they should expand it, sure feck it just make it 50% off for everyone.I wonder what EBBS and Vinnys response be 60%?

No Vinny wont he is a business man not a mercenary .Whats happening is Free Now are Gobbling the Knobs in the HAS to get the Post Apocalypse contract but this will backfire when tired doctors and nurses are left waiting for taxies to and from work .Most staff live close to the hospital with fares under a tenner divide that in two drivers might get a fiver before costs and waiting time .Did you Know Daimler made Hitlers Staff Car .Just to let you know the morals of what your dealing with .

The survey also said 87% of its drivers wanted to directly support healthcare staff in their work during this crisis.
Its illegal isn't it to say you did a survey and 87 percent of drivers agreed to it wen you did no such survey....? At the very least its lying tru ther teeth ....I was never asked ....or surveyed .....wer any you ?

Freenow control that Joe bloke, and he and others do what there told.Loads of taxis hang boots up after this won't be able for another 2008 scenario,but this way worse then 2008.They all work together on the taxi advisory council including the former king of taxigame Ebbs .

Heres that car John,Freenow are now in charge The Lower mount street staff car.Anyway bottomline now is that freenow decide what happens in Taxi industry 100%.They can give free taxis and discounted taxis and if you dont like it move on as there another fool to join.Im defiantly looking at other options now in employment .Im not doing another recession in a taxi as imagine the thieving from other drivers on jobs on street and crashes ,fighting for fares .Hardtimes ahead but not in a taxi for me.

Irish dont do rules they will come to realize after we get them to bail us out ,we done our apprentice ship over 800 years. If the British Empire that we actually destroyed when as a tiny little island we told them to fuck off and they did nothing couldnt control us a fucking taxi app has no chance .As soon as this is over and we start bad mouthing how they exploited workers in their time of need its game over Irish people have a certain dignity we dont like sleeviens .

John alot of drivers know nothing else except freenow.They are FREENOW trained soldiers and most dont speak much english. god love them. Its just the facts of it.Daimler AG are here to stay and there roots are to deep.I tried to talk to a freenow driver in town like talking to a computer robot with broken english ,The frontline Freenow workers can't be broken as trained to the highest standards
-
Its simple octy, maybe only 10 drivers took the survey and then they add on whatever number suits them to come up with the 87%, id love to see the survey and results in hard copy.
Fleecenow are nothing but scum

Yes Tony they are SCUM ::cheers.But drivers defend them and some little IT prick, sitting in his gaff decided this ,first of all email the Fatherland for approval and then execution.All approved from Germany

If these creatures really wnted to help the HSE staff and the Drivers who are out working and get a little positive P.R. then all they need to do is this ..
Prioritise "Key Workers " on the app by offering these Jobs Commission Free therby encouraging drivers to take these jobs . Suggest to the driver that he might like to give a personal discount of this 15 percent to the same passengers ..
there is something for everyone there .
I'm no marketing expert and I thought of this So you can be sure that they did also and just decided against it .
I wonder Why ?
-
It's FOMO.or fear of missing out. The psychology being, if 87% are in favour then drivers will opt in.
They will never print the full survey, no more than old fashioned cab companies would allow drivers to see the secret arrangements regarding discounts they offer account customers and bribes/ hospitality fees etc.

Drivers are free to reject or accept the medical jobs as they wish. it's a "thank you for the front line staff in this time of crisis, free now did a survey via the app and drivers overwhelmingly voted to offer some sort of discount to this cohort of society.
I'm not sure where Taxi drivers get their crystal balls and are able to foretell the future, but if discounting is required to get this business back on it's feet post Virus then so be it, if not they won't, I've discovered the only way I can compete as a sole trader against the might of the big dispatcher is to offer the commission I would be paying them in the form of a discount and I couldn't give a flying fuck what my competitor Taxidriver types think about that.

It was one of the Freenow IT geeks ,that put it up, and got approval from Germany.Like the plastic roofing that protects you from virus stunt, in your car which is illegal as modification of the vehicle against NTA rules ,but hey freenow are the NTA, and control its taxi division.Freenow are ruthless and will do everything to succeed and free advertising at drivers expense is there game.
-
Some lads could make drinking water complicated .All FN had to do was offer all their branded Ambassadors a grand a week to cover all the HSE work over their average shifts if they got 200 drivers its only 200K a week for ten weeks only two million chump change .Then all the drivers who got infected could sue them for putting them in peril 25% of all infections are among health workers ,why do you think they are not confining certain drivers to HSE work only .That would mean traceability and you could point to their HSE policy for your infection .I wonder how the little girl working in the Centra serving food would feel if she knew the passenger who just alighted was wearing surgical scrubs and worked in a health facility .

Only the start as same as Ebbs did in recession with 8202020 but with base fee and account administration costs even used to charge €1.50 for a account book and €115 base fee.So now Germans are in charge they doing the same with free advertising.Think all freenow drivers need to just keep chin up and do the work and support what they created.Freenow are here to make money.Maybe now more ice-cream vans and coffee and sambos will ease the pain for there drivers.They should email Headquarters and ask for a chipper van as they be hungry doing all that medical work.

Availability Bias / Availability Error: Simple Definition
Bias > Availability Bias / Availability Error
Definition
The term “availability bias” has two distinct meanings, depending on where you’re using it:
In assessement and decision making, it refers to readily available memories.
In meta-analysis, it is used as a synonym for publication bias.
1. Use in Assessement and Decision Making
Availability Bias (also called availability error) is figuring out odds from the first thing that pops into your head. A more recent memory, or one that you think is more important, has more bearing on your calculations than distant or hard-to-recall memories.
It’s called availability bias because of the distorted (biased) results. It’s also sometimes called the availability heuristic (which means a “rule of thumb”). Unlike sound calculations, availability bias accounts to nothing more than a quick guesstimate.
In Advertising
availability biasAdvertisers use the availability heuristic to their advantage. If they want a certain fact to pop into a viewer or readers head, they use repetition and visual language. Catchy slogans in commercials repeat over and over again. Negative facts are downplayed in vague or abstract ways. Think about drug ads: positive effects have simple language with large type and color, while side-effects are usually glossed over with small black and white type and fast language.
If you think of buying a lottery ticket, chances are the first thing that comes to mind are the lavish lifestyles of lottery winners. Or perhaps a phrase like “you gotta be in it to win it.” Maybe you just feel it’s your lucky day. That’s because lottery commercials focus on the one winner instead of the millions of losers. If commercials focused on the real odds (one in several million) and the scores of sad losers who just spent their last dime hoping to get rich, you wouldn’t buy a ticket.
2. Availability Bias in Meta Analysis
Simply put, if you base your analysis on readily available material, you’re analysis is likely to include availability bias. In this context, some authors call this type of bias source bias, information bias, or retrieval bias.
Light and Pillemar (1984) outline a simple way to find availability bias in publications. All things equal, small studies should have the same average effect size* as large studies. However, small studies will vary more due to sampling error. If you graph the sample size against effect size, the result should look like an upside down funnel. If it doesn’t, then suspect availability bias. However, there could be other reasons (see: Funnel plot for other possible causes).
availability bias
A funnel plot showing treatment effect vs. study size.
*Effect size indicates how much of an effect. For example, which works best: drug A or drug B?

And why did Supermarket workers not get it and Gardai and Firemen?.
+1. Should be available to all essential workers. The brits have expanded their weekly Thurs clap as recognition of all essential workers, not just those in the NHS. We should do the same if we haven't already.

I already had the clap!!

Just heard there will be a round of applause for courier and delivery drivers on Monday.
It will be sometime between 9am and 5pm.
