Cheers watty,
I'll print a couple off and put them on my covid stay in the back scum screen.
-
Funny there's no mention of receipts in the letter? Could get some 'backseat lawyers' declaring they're only paying what's on the meter and/or give them a receipt.

I would rather sit in a city street doorway with a cup in hand begging (prob make more !) than ask a customer fer a few euro over the metered fare and have to explain it in detail to each of them. That is just degrading and in today's scam world then every customer will think that they have just been scammed by their Taxi driver and most likely they will leave bad ratings fer the driver if using the apps, which in turn affects how job offers are given out by the apps to drivers.

There seems to be no mention of PUC or 3 or 4 passengers in that document.

Thanks John. ::cheers

@ John M, as your the author of this topic can you please add a poll to the topic with 3 options (more if you wish) to ask;
"Will you charge the extra on the new bank holiday 18th March ?"
1. Yes, I will charge the extra.
2. No, I will not charge it.
3. Maybe, but only if the fare is juicy enough.

Sorry fer asking, obviousely caught you on a bad day !
As fer RESPECT as you call it, how could any taxi driver ask and explain in detail to each customer why they were being charged 20% over the metered fare which would be about 2 Euro per job, to me it is degrading of the NTA to ask me to do so and I will not do so.

OK, you seem to be on about 15% FN commission charges, while I am on about the additional fare charge on 18th March ??

Jesus you are on about losing your status if people complain that you charged THE LEGAL FARE on the day .So you think protecting your 15% ransome is more important than supporting your colleagues by charging the actual LEGAL FARE .Were you ever a member of a Trade union do you understand that every advance in pay and conditions was hard fought for and not to be given away for stickers or medals .

As the 18th is a friday I wont be starting till about 8.00pm at which stage its on tariff 2 anyways. Although if I was working during the day I'd probably do what ken says and not bother saying anything. Most people will tip the balance anyways and even if they dont its only a couple of quid. Stop panicking lads.
-
settle the kettle john.
we're talkin about havin to engage with pissheads about the intricacies of how the meter works and the 12 hour anomaly created by 18 march. i prefer not to. i'll take the write down. people are very generous and the one euro tip here and the two euro tip there makes up for it.
-
Your response is shocking .You dont want your wages ,No wonder Free Now got lads to work for _50% in a pandemic .Im ashamed to be associated with this GAME .
-
it is a game. don't take it too seriously.

He’s in bad form jamsy tanked another 5% today .

.... Jesus you are on about losing your status if people complain that you charged THE LEGAL FARE on the day .So you think protecting your 15% ransome is more important than supporting your colleagues by charging the actual LEGAL FARE ....
No, that is not what I'm on about but just threw in in there as it is indeed a fact and I like facts.
I would be more with Horse or DMG as above and not bother with it, because in my own case I see it as degrading.
I did ask you as the author of this topic to start a poll about it but you refused seemingly thinking your way was the only way and no one else should be allowed to vote on it.

SO YOU DONT THE CORRECT FARE ..
The impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the Irish economy and society has been laid bare in a series of stark warnings given to Cabinet ministers.
A worst-case scenario briefing presented to ministers outlined how household gas and electricity may have to be rationed and public transport services could be cut if the energy crisis sparked by the war spirals out of control.
The confidential memo even warned of potential food shortages due to the impact of the escalating fuel crisis on the farming industry.
As the Government last night decided to cut duty on petrol and diesel by 20c and 15c, the memo revealed the State has already been forced to tap into the country’s 90-day reserve of crude and refined oil due to demand for fuel.
The Cabinet was also warned about the potential for a cyber attack on RTÉ in retaliation for the economic sanctions imposed on Russia following the invasion of Ukraine. This included banning Russian state media from broadcasting across the EU and on social media platforms.
Arts Minister Catherine Martin said her department was liaising with RTÉ to ensure it could continue broadcasting in the event of a cyber attack.
The memo said RTÉ had built “resilience into their systems” to protect against attacks. Last night, RTÉ said it was in regular contact with the department and added it was “subject to cyber attacks on an almost daily basis”.
“Over the last couple of years, RTÉ has introduced extra security controls to increase its protection against hacking attempts, and we continue to monitor for potential attacks on a daily basis,” a spokesperson said
×
The Cabinet was told the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has procured additional expertise that is on standby to assist in the wake of a wave of cyber attacks targeting Irish services and businesses.
The NCSC believes there is no immediate threat of a cyber attack but it is paying attention to areas that may be targeted because of the sanctions on Russia including the energy, telecommunications and financial services sectors.
The Cabinet was told the “spill-over effects” of the Ukraine war and international sanctions have directly exposed Ireland to higher energy prices which will hit households and businesses.
This in turn will lead to a slowing rate of economic growth with implications for jobs and the public finances.
The cost of gas, oil and electricity will significantly increase for all consumers, domestic and commercial, in the short and medium term, the Cabinet memo warned.
It said the fallout from the invasion had sparked market volatility that had significantly increased the wholesale prices of oil and gas on world markets, making it more difficult for Ireland to obtain supply.
However, it warned of restrictions on supplies of natural gas, precious metals, raw materials such as timber and other valuable commodities.
It warned that shortages of natural gas and C02 could lead to a curtailment on food processing with significant and immediate implications for domestic food supply and for farmers’ incomes.
Ministers were informed about a process of “graduated demand-management measures” that could be imposed on electricity and gas consumers under the State’s gas emergency plan if supplies become constrained.
A Cabinet source characterised this warning as tantamount to “rationing” electricity and gas supplies, but stressed that supply issues were not currently being envisaged by the Government, with concerns centring on energy costs.
Ministers were told a “partial release” from the State’s 90-day reserve of crude and refined oil products had already taken place under the standing arrangements in place for emergency releases in the event of supply constraints.
The memo said measures to manage the supply and price of energy would be “essential to mitigate risks to enterprise and investment”, particularly in the biopharma, microelectronics and medical devices sectors, and added that the impact on data centres “would have a wider and significant international effect”.
The Department of Public Expenditure is working with several other departments to assess the potential scale of costs involved.
A Financial Stability Group, chaired by the Department of Finance secretary-general and consisting of the governor of the Central Bank, the chief executive of the National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA) and officials from each body will meet at least weekly to oversee a Ukraine crisis sub-group and undertake contingency planning.
The memo also warns it is now evident that Ireland will need to accommodate rising numbers of Ukrainians seeking refuge in Ireland “potentially on an unprecedented scale and in a short time frame”.
Children’s Minister Roderic O’Gorman outlined plans to take over caravan parks, former military bases and Airbnb accommodation to house refugees .
Officials are also in discussions with Government agencies and the Office of Public Works about using State-owned buildings and land to provide accommodation. The Government will also talk to religious orders about providing accommodation.

12 hours on Gold Cup day during a double bank holiday weekend. How many on here are likely to be chasing a few notes in their cabs?
Ifn I was working I'd just put the notice up and see how many clients offer the extra. I doubt I'd bother asking for it unless some obnoxious cunt pissed me off or something...
-
I guess it's worth recalling - although most of ewes are plata nua scum that won't remember - the fiver surcharge we got for the millennium. It was so well advertised that every cunt knew about it and - bearing in mind there were no apps back then - almost to a man they flagged you down and asked if you were charging it. After ascertaining the destination I answered no to ones I wanted and yes to those I didn't (i.e. going city or southside) - nobody chose to pay it and I got more than one suggestion that I ought to engage in solitary sexual intercourse with both my intellect and parentage called into question... It wasn't a job for soft lads back then!

Imagine taxi drivers wont charge the rate because they think the public think they are rubbish ...A WASTE collection company is to impose a surcharge on bin collections in another sign that runaway energy costs are hitting hard.
Refuse collection company Panda has told some of its customers it is imposing a €1 per bin lift “fuel and energy surcharge”.
It said in an email from managing director Derek Dunne to customers that diesel prices had surged.

I am surprised they don't set fire to each other's vehicles and depots, like the good old days.
