Post by: silverbullet on March 31, 2026, 07:53:21 pm
They have introduced a new logo to celebrate their Collaboration/ Merger - delete as applicable:

But all I can see is RIP...as in RIP.IE. 8)

An insider has said the freight remains the same if you allow their company logo on your vehicle.

If not, you pay about 10% more freight instead.

The insider drives a rental cab, which is already bedecked with Free Now Stickers from Jack in Bobo.

There'll so many stickers it'll look like the background of a thick football player being interviewed! lol

Is it just me or does the Trip logo look like Tap from a distance. Maybe I need to go to specsavers [emoji23]

€79.00 with stickers and all the fixed fares you can manage, or €89.00  if you stay with your original master.

I'd imagine drivers tacking on an extra euro to account fares to cover the extra cost, if they don't already do it.

Nothing wrong with €79. That's what C2K was back in the good old days but it was a 99.32% cash circuit back then. Are there any deductions from account jobs?

Fixed fares have always been popular in the North County which is well within Anthony's field of expertise... but how do Trip's rates compare with Uber?

All the Dialysis jobs are fixed fares AFAIK. Blue Cabs used to give drivers money to Beaumont Hospital in the region of a 37% discount. NRC were something in the region of 44%.

I only get overflow cash work from C2K. 15% commission.

When I with Blue Cabs dialysis work was full fare. How do the rates compare with Uber's "fixed" fares?

Yes, but back then someone had to walk in front of your car with a flag!
