I voted No because I won't be working. If I was working my shift would commence between 18:03 and 20:01 so, for the sake of a couple of hours, I wouldn't bother. If I was a day man doing 4+ hours I'd be inclined to display the relevant notice and see how many clients add it without asking for it save in the case of obnoxious cunts, for whom I would add it.

Scuse the ignorance but if the fare at the end of the journey comes to say 20 Euro we are to ask the passengers for an 4 Euro??
Can you imagine the hassle you WILL get from passengers thinking you are ripping them off??
and are we suppose to work it out ourselves on a calculator?
This is shambolic

You cant work out 20% .Listening to lads on here we dont want any more money .Im sure Free Now will tell the Fare Review that drivers dont want any more .You can be sure your posts have been copied and will be used against you .FUCKING GOBSHITES .

If it was a permanent thing, like every Sunday, then you'd have to. But because its only a few hours, none as far as I'm concerned, who gives a shit. Our meters are going to be recallibrared soon anyway so for a once off, down a fiver or tenner, if your working, who cares. My two cents, or 5 cents coz it's the new rules.

Just smile and think of all the puppy dole we got and most of us are still getting. The essential workers for whom the bank holiday was largely introduced got very little by comparison. Let them have their 20%... unless they want to give it to you or irritate you.

I'll be at a wedding in Manchester,so IDGAF!

Totally agreed Justin, the fare be up another 20% by the time your finished explaining it to them !
In today's 'Scam world' customers won't believe it anyway, but most likely pay it and then 'Bad mouth' you behind your back fer seemingly ripping them off !

I believe its a one off bank holiday in ( memory) of Ukraine....
Nta calculated that ther wud be uproar by a certain type of taxi
Driver ( ape) who wud insist on gettin paid extra an wud march on the dail and embarrassin themselves and the country an so they've calculated that if they get the apes to tell the customers ( clients) that ther takin ther extra 20% ....then the row will be contained within a taxi an between the ape an the client an the national embarrassment won't happen an it'll be contained within the the greedy cnuts taxi an it'll blow over
You can actually tell yur customers now that you will be giving all tips as a donation to Ukraine red Cross tru yur sump up app that link that ratti put up .....yu can give all yur freenow an bolt tips to Ukraine ....even put a sign up .....
Hopefully it won't be abused by said certain ape scrooge types

The Bank Hol is a 'thank you' to COVID essential workers like ourselves and medical staff. Maybe we should take the day off since it is for us? :P
Will it even be busy? I'm thinking of doing a 'when in Rome' and getting the beers in on Thurs night so no driving on Friday :2cheers

Won't be working Pattys day and will more than likely take the Friday off but will work a few hours on Sat for the rumpy.

REMEMBER THIS EVERYBODY USING YOUR CAR ON THE DAY IS GETTING PAID FOR THEIR DAY OFF OR GETTING DOUBLE TIME OR MORE FOR WORKING .ON A 20 EURO FARE YOU ARE ONLY LOOKING FOR 4 EURO .TAKE A LOT OF 20 EURO FARES FOR YOU TO MAKE A DAYS WAGES OUT OF THE EXTRAS .

I was down the Pub today and bumped into Arramis Brophy called after a bottle of Aftershave his bied robbed for him for his 21s Birthday present .He drives a Taxi ans was wondering if you dont charge the extra 20% will Free Now send you a warning for undercharging and could they look for their share of what you didnt charge .

I don't think the NTA or FN have officially told me about this 20% 'bonus' so how could I apply it? Also, the NTA have repeatedly said the fares on the meter is the MAXIMUM we can charge and we are free to discount if we want. So boohoo to FN if I discount. They don't set the fares and they are not my boss.
Having said that, I recently threw a guy out of my taxi for taking drugs and being blatant about it. [The safety screen protects us...but it also protects them when I want to 'talk' to them about their behaviour >:( ]. Anyways, got ~70% of the fare in coins and drove up the road a bit before I pulled in to finish the 'paperwork'. FN sent me a message about the fare being too low. I wrote them back and said I fuked him out for taking drugs. After that, they were only interested in whether the amount I entered into the app was real or made-up. Oh, and they said they'd put a note on his file!

Yes I can , most though wont (for some bizarre reason). The only thing it may cause some hassle with passengers who think you are ripping them off.
With regards the taxi companys, they dont speak for me . I see they were in talks with this grouping "Dublin City" who wish to rid the city of "adult shops"(as if they are the main reasin why Dublin is a kip!) and move all taxi ranks into car parks.
THAT is their proposal, moving all taxi ranks into car parks.They have negotiations with some taxi companys about this.
I bet they never spoke with drivers themselves or any of the taxi reps.

Good point. Imagine if there was a rep for indie drivers?
