But why mention one brand UBER what is an UBER under the regulations .To me it is a dispatch brand like Free Now or Lynk of NRC .Why did it get a shoutout in this publication ?

4 hours on the phone trying to talk to a person to ask the NTA definition of UBER when it comes to picking up still cant get through .
-
Freenow pulled out of the limo market so Uber a means black car limo service for most people.
Maybe the NTA are trying to show the whingers that are calling for Uber that Uber is already here in licenced vehicles.

I got on to Geno Kenny TD he will ask the NTA and Anne Graham the definition of UBER in this Directive .

I'd say one of the staff rushed out the bulletin to the NTA website.No malice was involved IMO.
It's irrelevant as nobody in their right mind would drive up their empty hanging around for a job.A lot of folks including myself left the venue as it was a bit shite TBH.Plenty of street work between Dundrum and Marley park an hour before the gig ended if you wanted it.I walked to the Luas and fecked off.

Definitions
3. (1) In these Regulations -
“cashless payment” means payment by means of credit card, debit card or other payment instrument within the meaning of Article 4 of Directive (EU) 2015/2366 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015;
“cashless payment device” means a physical electronic payment device accepting point of sale card-based payment transactions, using the methodologies of Near Field Communication (contactless) and a PIN (personal identification number) with a magnetic stripe or chip;
Sumup will be fine. I wonder if that definition rules out Revolut?

The good news for drivers is it's only a €200 fine.You could absorb a couple of fines a year accepting cash only and still be up overall.Whos really gonna bother their hole complaining.Not that many.

I wish we had a decent traffic plan in place fer Friday's Elton John concert down here, there is gonna be a lot of oldies coming out of that concert to find out that they have a 3km walk back in to town. No shuttle bus or regular bus service or no taxies allowed near the venue !

Dosent happen on GAA match days .Seems like concert goers are different cant be allowed out in traffic .Gards have a Public Safety obligation the exclusion zones cover their arse .I would think the unspoken not said out of sight gathers no moss real reason for exclusion zones is .The further away you get from the venue the less dense the crowds are .If somebody decided to ram a few cars into a crowd close to the stadium there could be a stampeed as well as impact injuries .I would think that the Gards are aware that we are not immune from terror attacks .We are one of the very few EU member States that have not had any terrorism attacks yet .That lad in Sligo who butchered the two Gay lads has never claimed he did it for God or Allah

Seemingly GAA matches and Marquee nights are a lower security risk than Full concerts.

Sent an E mail back to Deputy Geno Kenny TD ...Dear Deputy
The issue we spoke of seems to be rectified .The wording has been amended to now read ..PUDO AND TAXI ROUTE
All vehicles picking up and dropping off will be directed to Supervalu on Ballinteer Avenue where a dedicated Taxi Pick Up is located. The area identified for pick up and drop off will be designed to facilitate taxi and private hire. The Pick UP & Drop Off area will be stewarded. We kindly ask that all Taxis and private hires cooperate and use the dedicated Pick Up & Drop Off Area and the allocated routes to Supervalu which is clearly signed with VMS and signage.

Thanks for your help .

The last couple of evenings have been extremely busy, in my experience... without getting within 12.7 Kilos of Rathfarnham. That's where the apps come into their own I guess... allowing drivers concentrate on specified destinations well away from any traffic hotspots.

Read to the end, Watty!
The purpose of the Small Public Service Vehicle (Cashless Payment Facility) Regulations 2022 is to require drivers of taxis to carry a functioning cashless payment device whilst operating and to accept cashless payments for any journey. The regulations also provide for associated guidelines and requirements regarding standards and security of payment devices.

There is the outside chance that somebody was acting the bollix with the opening post and amended it to include uber.
But the opening poster was Watty and that would not seem to be his style.
