Basically everyone who can't work from home.
-
And still OUR gobshites go out working, it's unbelievable
-
They should consult with NTA / Free Now... We've maintained a full service with little or no casualties.

Without contact tracing, we'll never know.
-
A full service ? Id say there is less then half the fleet working
-
78% still working according to the amount of drivers still linked to a vehicle.
I don’t suppose those facts have anything to do with them being male dominated industries

If they are already in receipt of a Government payment there's no incentive to unlink from the App, coupled with the fact that most day workers are lonely pensioners.

I haven't heard of any shortfall, DM. In fact, anecdotal evidence suggests demand has fallen further than supply. IIRC you reported your takings being 35% down due to COVID '19.
-
I didnt report my takibgs being down at all,because I am noy
T,nor have I worked since the 12 th march so why are you saying I reported my takings being down ?

A few days ago, the Irish Times reported that State funding for bulk of public transport could run out next month (https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/state-funding-for-bulk-of-public-transport-could-run-out-next-month-1.4249930) (i.e., by end of June). Nobody is using the buses or trains. Today, Ross came into the Dail from his (retirement) home and said the Govt would give them a few bob to keep them going in the second half of the year.
Uber in America is a listed company and they reported their fares are down 80%. Probably a similar number here?
If any taxis are working, I can't imagine who they're driving around?
-
Me, a night driver.
Dialysis patients to home, 1 doctor to Vincents in an emergency, bloods, and specimens hospital to hospital, go, and return trips to buy weed, guys with bags of cans to a session, girlfriends/boyfriends who haven't had a jump in weeks to each others houses, hookers to clients, clients to hookers,1 family from a barbeque in their parents home, journalists to, and from work, etc.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I'm sure there is *some* need for taxis but not the 10,000 licenced to work.
-
There stikk looks to be a hellova lot out there working

FFS, DM... it's beginning to get tedious looking up your contradictions...
