WTF! >:( They're quick enough to bombard us with messages when they're offering a few quid extra to work weekend nights but has anyone been officially notified about this?
Free Now launches new feature 'Taxi Lite' to ensure you pay less for your trip (https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/free-now-launches-new-feature-29633009)
Free Now’s latest taxi update will come as a welcome change for many, as the price of taxis continues to rise across the board. In recent months, the price of taxi fares increased to reflect inflation and marked another blow to Irish consumers - particularly those struggling to make ends meet. Now, to help people get where they need to be during off-peak hours, Free Now has launched a new booking option that will save you money on your next trip.
In a statement, a spokesperson explained: "We are excited to announce the launch of our newest booking option: Taxi Lite.
"This booking option offers the lowest guaranteed fare between 5:00 am-7:00 am Monday to Sunday, 10:00 am-4:00 pm Tuesday to Friday, and 7:00 am-11:00 am Saturday and Sunday."
They went on to suggest that: "Lite is perfect for those who are looking to save money while still getting around town quickly and easily, as the maximum fare you will pay is capped." This new option means you will "always pay the lowest price upon reaching your destination."
You’ll therefore be paying the lower of either what’s on the taxi meter or the upfront maximum price offered before booking Taxi Lite.
At this point, it is understood the service is only available in the Dublin City area.

Anyone doing work for this crowd need their fooking head examined.

Ken yur good at maths ...wats this shite all about ? I know ther robbin bsstards ...but we get the metered fare ....so wat ther sayin is they'll calculate the apes journey an tell them its 15 quid an wen they get to the zoo or watever it'll only be a tenner so they'll tink ther gettin a bargain but in fact they'll be gettin no discount...so it's a con isny it ?
Or do any of yu brainy blokes know wat the fukbther on about ::fds
-
Seems to me they'll be telling the pax what their journey is gonna cost before they even get in the cab. So say you're picking them up at Houston to go to the 3 arena they'll tell the pax it'll cost 15 quid and no more. As you know whenever anything is on down there the traffic does be shite and the only consulation is that we get paid, albeit slowly, for sitting in the traffic. Now that'll be gone. It'll be 15 quid even if it takes you an hour to get there. As far as I'm concerned it's just another reason to add to the long lists of reasons to tell them to jog on. Cheeky cnuts.

Naa horse ...yur legally entitled to the metered fare obviously....so are fukyutoonow going to pay the difference ? Like if it takes an hour an it's 30 quid ....are fukoffnow goin to pay the extra15 out of the money they robbed off of all the other apes
I technology fees ?
-
I fooking doubt it. They'll say you accepted the "lite" job so you accept the terms and conditions that go with that job. The only thing lite about the whole thing is your wages at the end of your shift.

If that's the case then nobody is goin accept a lite job ...hole ting don't make senses.....the mind boggles ::)

There's always plenty of donkeys out there willing to do their work. And as for we are entitled to the metered fare, don't you remember 8202020 with their 20% discount on EVERY job? And there was plenty of drivers willing to do it.

I did one this morning.Fishamble St to the airport.
She was guaranteed €25.As she was a bit late for her plane,we went the port tunnel and it came to €34.
She can thank fn for the 9 quid discount,because I got paid in full.(in fact it doesn't mention what the quoted fare is on our screen).
While I'm on the subject,I got a bolt from the airport to O'Connell St.4 passengers and shite traffic.It came to 28.60 and the Spanish yoke with the app showed me that she had been quoted 24.
I didn't entertain herr for a second.
-
That's not too bad so VD. The discount is probably coming out of the technology fee so. I wonder what would happen if it was a cash job that was also lite. Or is it just card jobs that can be lite?

Obviously only card jobs if wat vd is saying fnow pay the discount.....let them at it...

You poor dumb Bastards .Most posters on here are Semi Professional not depending on taxi wages to feed their families pay big mortgages but the Few who are are the same ones cutting their own throats .You say UBER or BOLT are better they still take a HUGE lump of your earnings .You all sound like Fucking masochists thanking your slave master for punching you in the mouth or whipping you but not kicking you in the Bollox like Free Now .
Then you have other Fucktards investing big coin in EVs .How long before the Apps offer discounted fares on EVs to save the Planet and you Fucktards trying to pay off your EV loans will have to cover the work or no Dinner .There are Two Really Clever posters on Here Panel and Frankie .Frankie told you this is a part time Gig get a Real Job if you need wages and Panel told you how to do the Job for the least money .Fellas working Nights on Restricted Shifts so they can charge the battery on the Cheaper Electricity will lose more than they save in running costs .
Have any of you noticed how many houses for sale in and around Jamses Hospital,Bulfin,Drimnagh,Crumlin .I was talking to a Girl on one of the Residence associations ,she was saying a lot of Nurses who bought houses are selling up and Going to Dubai or Canada or Australia .I would be weary of what the Apps are doing in the end it all comes out of what YOU earn .

I think this new 'promotion' could lead to a lot of potential trouble, even conflict. If the app is charging, say, €15 and the meter is saying €20, the passenger will be happy enough the first time but eventually will start to think that taxi's have been ripping them off over the years. Get someone who's naturally cranky and/or drunk, and you could end up in a boxing match.
And I don't see how the app can be accurate with the way the council has set up the road system around Dublin. North strand/Fairview is a disaster, half the city is gonna shut down next week because of Biden and the ESB are warning of complete chaos over the next few years as they dig up every second road in Dublin to upgrade the electricity network.

WHY HAVE WE NOT BEEN ISSUED WITH NEW FARE CARDS SINCE THE INCREASE ?
-
There was no fare info on the old cards so would you notice the difference?
-
Talk about killing the goose that laid the golden egg ? It looks like they are trying to starve that goose to death !

I tink frankie also said thers a reason we all drive taxis an dont hav a real job ......but the apps hav replaced the radio ....an this generation want to order a taxi using ther phone ...no gettin away from the technology....the problem is its the only part of the taxi hobby / business that's not regulated..an thats the fault of Leo an the cabbage an ther ilk .....foreign multinationals come before the citizens an the community....evidence of that is all around us ...
I certainly dont want to pick up off the streets at night with the shit that's walking the streets now that's out ther ...

And it can be out by €3 anyway if the app doesn't know how many pax.

Think of the Possibilities of A I on Transport .You have a Black box on board No more Motor tax or Fuel Duty but Road Charging .Your Car ,Scooter ,Bike .Bus ,Truck is fitted with a black box it records what road you traveled and at what time and charges you on a sliding scale per kilometer higher for Motorway at Peak times less if you travel off peak Just like your Smart ESB meter .This would open up a huge revenue scheme from Transport and the Cyclists and Scooters would have to pay for the use of the Roads they occupy .Same for parking why pay for an hour if you are just running to the shop for bread .Crypto would allow greater Factorials instead of charging by the mile they could sub devide it down to inches creating more revenues .Imagine that same Black Box could issue you with penelty points or speeding Fines .Sounds impossible we already have a bleeper to pay the toll and the parking in certain multiparks Block chain can link all these service togeather and Ireland will be the World Leaders as we house most of the Digital Companies that want to monetize the internet .They are not interested in Crypto let somebody else collect the Coin on their behalf all they want to change is the Tech .Look at your Revolute App you can Bank buy Crypto Buy Shares all at the touch of a Button .I have a watch tells me how much I sleep .Breath .Blood Pressure .Oxygen Levels Im sure if my dock knew that he would down load it and use it to Diagnose stuff unlike having to deal with you in the moment when you are stressed as he shoves his finger up you to check your Prostate .The Future is Digital and Crypto its just a matter of which of the Low value Coins will Moonshot like ETH or BIT .
Now imagine you are driving a Taxi and Free Now or some other App sends you a Job and You refuse and your meter is automatically turned off and you get a Notification from the Taxi AI Bot As you have exceeded your refusal rate under your licencing agreement with TFI you are suspended from carrying fares for 24 hours .OK thats Probably a few years away but all Free Now or Uber or Bolt need to Do is write a few Lines of Code that will just stop sending you work if you reach a high refusal rate .WHIPPING BOYS .

I believe every new car sold in the EU after 2024 or '25 (?) will have a basic speed limiter installed in them. It can overridden for now but it wouldn't take too much to make it active 100% of the time.
New cars have had a SIM card in them for the past few years for emergency dialling if the car thinks you've been in accident.
Everything else you suggest could probably be done easily enough through your mobile already (Google Maps & Bank app). Make it mandatory to start the car with your phone/ID and jobs done!
Or how about your phone takes a photo of your eyes to see if you're hungover or on drugs and the car won't start! The GPS will tell the car if you're in the driver or passenger seat!

Uber are giving 50% off fares to certain customers.Freenow can well afford to subsidise a few jobs.

Good to hear, so LITE makes no difference in fare to the driver.
-
Free Now sent me a 50% off offer but I would have to take a full price journey to get the voucher i.e. the 50% is off the following tour. I haven't used them for a while because fares are a lot lower with Bolt or Lynk yet both of those firms pay their drivers more than Free Now.
I've often wondered how they can offer dirt cheap tours in London - typically a clapped out Prius at less than half the taxi fare - but not in Dublin. Both jurisdictions have similar licensing laws i.e. the clapped out Pryeyeeyeuseses require SPSV licences in both cases.

I've a vague memory of JohnM doing history tours in his taxi a few years back but I think he got a phone call from the NTA and that stopped that. Maybe he might know more?
