Leonard Miller, daa said: "This partnership with Uber is a great example of how impactful airport media can directly enhance the passenger journey. By placing Uber’s brand at key arrival touchpoints, we’re ensuring passengers are informed at the exact moment they need onward travel options. It’s about combining smart media placement with real passenger needs to deliver a smoother, more connected airport experience."
As opposed to the numerous non-Uber taxis ranked up outside the terminal?
I'd be pissed if I had to pay to rank at that airport and the airport was promoting my rival inside the terminal >:( Would the drivers be organised enough to not rank there for a day or two?

Same thing happened years ago when Aircoach started in Dublin =Kesh went apeshit !

I'd always go for an Uber at an Airport. Airport ranks are full of villains the world over... with Uber you know you won't be ripped off.
You can see why Derek O'Keefe was calling for Uber to be banned now!

Ya know the way FreeNow drivers love telling ya they are Ambassadors, Priority,all the medals uniform wearing donut giving discounting scum.
Are Uber drivers the same ?

Taxi biz, and the world, is getting shittier every day, the illuminati are winning, mossad probably already planning for the post Trump era. Can't get all anti Israeli with Uber anymore since Kalanick is gone, and a US iranian now has the top Uber job.

Derek O'Creep is too busy to argue against Uber fixed fares while providing his own fixed fares.

No payment charges fer ranking at Cork airport.
To add, FN already has a virtual rank at Cork airport.

Plenty of discounting scum ready to do the work.
It’s a race to the bottom.

To be fair Uber covers it's own discounts... for now. Obviously it's not going to pay drivers substantially more than it charges riders forever. Free Now increased freight to 25% to cover the discounts it must offer to compete with Uber. Give it a year or ten and freight will be 41.3% across all the commercial apps.
-
How do you mean Uber covers its own discounts ?
-
The driver gets the full fare less commission, the rider pays the full fare plus technology fee less whatever discount is allowed. Discount varies between 0% and 30% in my experience, this week it's 20% in my rider app. You know when it's 0%, it (the driver app) goes very quiet.

I presume these are not the fixed fares you are on about.
-
Applies to both fixed fares and metered fares.

You sure Uber covers the fixed fare discounts?
Don’t think so Rats
-
Positive. Discount applies regardless of the option you select. Driver gets the full fare or fixed fare less commission.
