How are the FN "Saver" jobs going in your area ?
They only started a few weeks ago down here in Cork with a 25% commission rate and were popular on a 50/50 basis with regular FN jobs, but this bank holiday weekend they went totally nuts and about 95% of all FN jobs were "Saver".

I took a few at Off-Peak to test the waters and do the math, soon found out it was 25% commission which is of no interest to me and I reverted to Uber early this morning at 13% commission.
Which leaves me in the unenviable position of being FN branded and unable to cover their almost ALL 25% commission jobs.

Yer man on Roys warned yis .WORKCAPTURE ..WE tried to warn you Ken this shit was tried out first in Dublin .Ambassadors brainwashed thinking they were doing good .Free Now are like Coke Dealers they get you addicted then increase the Price .Now they are addicting the passengers .They will get a set up where they will control the Booking Charge offer big booking fees which you wont see a penny of then reduce your share .A 20 euro fare today will still be only 20 quid but they will take ten of it in booking fees and comission .

No Ken you shouted Fuck all only told us how great Free Now were and the billions you were earning as an Ambassadore .Once they Got enough lads Branded and addicted they were always going to do this .The fella on Roys told you all years ago how it worked and ye all Took the Bo Bo and abused the man who exposed the Graft ,who exposed long before they had Ambassadores Gold and Silver how they were feding certain Drivers who they knew would cover the shite .Now its all shite .

Yer man on Roys warned yis .WORKCAPTURE ..
You make it sound like we were offering a God Like Premium Taxi service before the Apps came in. That actually was not the case, we offered a pretty low level of service and very often over-charged and/or refused card payments, taking the Long route, Etc. It was US whom allowed the Apps in with a fully Traced decent service which WE were not providing.

I did and still get full price jobs (albeit not as much) with no stickers or priority.Freenow...they're not the only show in town
Saver jobs are below yellow pack especially on short jobs

Speak for yourself .Card Payments evolved and would of without the Apps .My Local Chipper has no App but takes card payments ..The Apps do not provide any standard of service .Most Drivers ignore the plot they give you using Highways and Motorways and use their Professional Knowledge to provide their service ..You got played Ken we told you .You had to do 60 jobs a week to keep your Ambassadore rating so the logorythm could give you the shit jobs knowing you needed to cover them to retain your ranking .Now do they pay you for branding and tdo you need to retain a ranking of Gold to get paid off .
What is the advantage to any driver getting his car branded ? Your looking for ta taxi you are hardly going to Profess to being A Freenower like you would a United or Liverpool Supporter and root out a Free Now Branded taxi out of Brand loyalty .So whats the advantage to deface your car ?

Your point is well made but it was not the Ambassadors that Fooked it all up, it was those of Us that you make it sound like were offering a God Like Premium Taxi service before the Apps came in. That actually was not the case, we offered a pretty low level of service and very often over-charged and/or refused card payments, taking the Long route, Etc. It was Us whom allowed the Apps in with a fully Traced decent service which WE were not providing because to quote the Late Great FDS; "There was too much Cuntbaggerry going on", and the apps took advantage of our short-comings.

You have a few Valid points in there amidst your incessant ramblings, but tell me after getting your €450 a week Carer's allowance fer looking after both your Ma and Da and Living Rent free in their home and also getting another €500 a week in Rent from the property you luckingly Won on the Lotto making it almost a 'Bag A Sand' per week to you & living Rent Free, Which Taxi app do you use these days ?

So it a case now that the stickers are worth shit? As long as you'll give them 25% you'll be busy? Ditch the stickers and the app ken, work differently. There's more than one way to skin a cat.

Ken wake up ffs ..... the goal shud be winding down .... yur 60 i believe ..... we dont have alot of time left most probably ... if we continue to accommodate these corporations the end result is poverty .... thats wat yuv been warned about on here and you cant come on here complaining of lyfts discounts if you are doing them and you cant blame dublin taxi drivers thats a cop out for your own responsibility . Your mindset is wat made you fall for ther stickers bullshit .... now yur eyes have bean opened .......... look I told yu numerous times .... I dont get carers allowance.... now yur jus sounding a bit childish comparin our earnins ..... why is everything you talk about... about wat you get compared to everyone else ?
ive no doubt yu earn more than me but why wud that matter to me and why shud it matters to you wat I earn ? Thats what has you wer you are now ...
Yuv brought up the discussion of wat lyft formerly known as freenow is doing .... ie taking 25% of your earnings with your participation.... im saying dont do it ..... find an alternative .... uber will doo the same and it will only get worse .... dont do them itll only end up you in the poorhouse ... that is wat these corporations do ..... understand america ... understand wat yur up against and dont comply or yu will pay a hefty price

I ordered my first Tap A Taxi today, very pleasant fellow from Kerala picked me up and dropped me to the leafy suburbs of West Kilmore.
I asked him "So how long are you with Chapati Taxi?"
How we laughed!! 8)

The stickers still have their use as ambassadors get offered much more FN work, the problem is that I don't want the 25% commission jobs !
No problems working the streets between 11pm and 4am, it's the early evenings and early mornings when there is nothing only app work available, might try working uber a bit more or give the Nest another shot ??
Defo not going back to Bootlegging, way too much work involved !!

What good are the stickers if most of the jobs are 25% commission? A pleb in a banged up 15 year old wat without stickers would be earning more than you for his shift simply because he'll cover the high commission jobs ken. We all knew this was coming but you, unfortunately, didn't see it or didn't want to see it. The reality of the situation is that the ambassador program is no longer fit for purpose. Its Mr. high discount man that brings home the bacon, not sticker man.

Oh and just to add ken, this is only the beginning. As soon as they have enough idiots doing the high commission fares they'll up it again. And again. And again. As long as there's drivers willing to degrade themselves by doing these fares and willing to degrade their cars with stupid stickers these fcukers will keep trying it on.

I know Horse, that is my conundrum at the moment, Hailo, Mytaxi and FN had been good fer me fer many years, but this latest Saver scheme has thrown a spanner in the works.

I dont think many on here understand how FN "Saver" jobs work, so I'll explain it as best as I know.
It's not actually FN that take the full 25% commission, they do take 25% from our fare but then they pass on a 10% reduction of the fare price to the customer, whilst still keeping their own 15% + the Poxy Euro technology fee from the customer.

At least that is my understanding of how it works on FN Account work, Saver jobs are also available on Cash jobs and I have no idea of how they pass on the reduction to their customers if they pay by cash or debit card ??
I reckon they just trouser the whole 25% if a Saver is booked on a Cash job ??

They give 10% of our money to the punter who looks down their nose at us, have I got that right?

Yes, but the customer "looking down their nose at us" has no idea that the reduction is coming fully from the taxi drivers earnings, all they see is "Saver" in the menu and obviously just click on that option.

Charge them the full fare and give them a McDonald's Euro saver burger.

You do charge them the full fare as usual on FN account jobs, it's after the fare is processed that the Saver 25% comes off.

Saver jobs are the same price as regular taxi jobs on the rider app. In the real world all jobs are offered to the "saver fleet" at 25% then what's not covered is offered to the non-save fleet.

So if your car is all stickered up and you have all the gold medals and wearing the uniform you get offered the jobs at a 25% fee first.
Am I missing something here ?

No thats it .There are plenty of Taxis in Cork a bigger County than Dublin so FN by Lyft are thanking drivers for promoting their service and encouraging more drivers to take out taxi licences for the Cork area or not even be licenced for Cork just be legally entitled to pick up a Cork Booking with any County Licence .
So a Lad getting a job from the City to Glenmire or Ovens or just outside the City will accept anything to get him back into the City no matter how little he gets for the Job .He thinks sure im earning .Same here in Dublin .Jobs on the outskirts being grabbed up by lads thinking sure im going back in any way .

Busy fools.
25% now and will be 35% next.

Heading home c. 1.50 this am around The Green, up Camden ST, wall to wall yellow lights, same through Ranelagh, a reminder of bad days past. €261 net for 9 hours. I reckon that's near enough to min wage + expenses for weekend night work.

...... I opted out ages ago.
Opting out will get you great Brownie points on here and bragging rights on the rank BUT 95% of all FN work is now Saver jobs, so if'n your non ambassador then you might as well delete the app rather than Opt out.

I've been opted out of the taxi saver work for a long time and just recently I've noticed I'm getting more offers of full fares. The only reason I can think of is drivers leaving off Freenow since the membership of Tapataxi is growing.
Let's be serious here the lads that were willingly covering discounts for months won't suddenly email Freenow to opt out. They'll just delete it or leave it off realising they've been duped.
Freenow/Lyft would wanna watch out as the co-op could very quicky take their drivers and then their customers.They already lost a lot of work to Uber.All it takes is a few hundred more drivers to turn off and they're cooked.

It's not so much the Saver jobs that have caused the slow down, the amount of folk around town has dramatically decreased in the past year or so and the amount of taxis has increased or maybe even DOUBLED !

Looks good Watty. A relative of mine signed up about a month ago and I think his membership number was 1400 or somewhere close. Won't be long before Tapataxi have 2000 drivers if they don't already.

Tap is now me biggest earner .... ken can put as much salt on that as he wants .....

Great news Octy.

Correct me if I’m wrong here lads.
Are the FreeNow ambassador/gold medal/priority taxis proud to be offering a 25% fee ?
Was it only 9% commission a few years ago and now it’s 25%.
In what industry with fuel prices so high is offering such a big discount.
Just goes to show that FreeNow are not on the side of the taxi driver.
But best of luck to the drivers who are willing to cover the discount work.

Have ya seen the price of electricity! Very expensive to run computers nowadays so that's why the commission is so high (probably)...
I heard FN are trying to reduce costs by importing some Polish hamsters to generate electricity in-house using threadmills :-X If that doesn't work out, they might scrape the barrel and use Ambassador taxi drivers in the threadmills. They'll work for almost nothing :P
