Should see Mytaxi losing their drivers and customers to UBER especially with the superior software that both drivers and passengers would appreciate .

No. He wants rideshare
More professional lobbying

At least with the new requirement for lobbyist to register themselves when approaching ministers we'll be able to see who is doing what.Apparently it's gonna be copied by other countries as the new standard.

They all want rideshare its just UBER are up front about it .If rideshare was allowed EVERY dispatcher would drop us and use rent a mom or student drivers .In Ireland the Minister has at last made his mind up the letter was in his intray for nearly two years and local councillors were even lobbying for it .I still think he only put his foot down because the FG Junior minister was mouthing off about incentives for rural publicans and Ross wanted to let him know who the Senior man at transport was .
IF UBER were to decide to have another go at Irelands taxi fleet then buying Lynk /Xpert and NRC would give them the leverage to take on Mytaxi .If they done the right deal with drivers then My taxi would have serious competition and commission might come down .In fact I dont know why the three big Irish companies dont get togeather under one banner and take on My taxi .
The moment is right both passengers and drivers are fed up with the poor app quality of Mytaxi .

To be fair, Daimler makes no secret of it's interest in developing rideshare. In fact, one of it's brand CEOs coined the phrase Airbnb on wheels.
Among Khosrowshahi's first tasks at Uber would be filling a slew of executive vacancies, including those of chief financial officer, chief operating officer and general counsel.
I guess Gary Bramall (Hail0/mytaxi Chief Marketing Officer who describes himself as an Uber fanatic) is busy typing his Curriculum Vitae.

Do drivers have to submit CVs ?
-
The only CVs of concern to drivers are constant velocity joints (inner and outer).

So why would that bloke from Mytaxi need to submit a CV to UBER ..You dont think they would actually employ him do ya . rofl rofl rofl You me or Frankie would have a better chance of getting that gig .

On the face of it one would say highly unlikely given Hail0's global track record of failure under his stewardship. However, Hail0 did blame it's inability to compete with Uber for it's US failure which might suggest he has some knowledge of Uber's US marketing machine. Publicly describing himself as an Uber fanatic while working for one of it's competitors has to count for something... could be an internship in the marketing dept with his name on it?

So following your logic and getting lost along the way .Most fat middle aged porter bellied blokes who wear Tottenham Hotspurs jersies do so in the belief that possibly one day Mr Tottenham will call them up and give them a game .

Not exactly... but to extrapolate your analogy, if the Manchester United manager were to describe himself as a Tottenham Hotspur fanatic when commenting on his own team's performance/chances one would expect his name to be in the frame should Tottenham Hotspur need a new Manager or Assistant Manager shortly thereafter.

Ah I see so you take the job you dont want in the hope that you can get the job you do want by taking the job you dont want and telling your employer you dont want the job they gave you but you do want the other job ...

Almost. Roy Keane playing for Celtic at the end of his playing career might be a better example from the world of soccer.
-
It doesn't matter whos boss
Its a sexist company employing non vetted drivers who have assaulted and raped passengers all over the world
Also the rates are crap and the company looses money ob a daily basis
-
whoever they put in there they're a puppet.
the jew is running things from the sidelines.
-
The rates are set by NTA and the Gardai are responsible for vetting, TD42. Not a lot Uber can do about the huge number of rapes/murders committed by Irish taxi drivers but there's a better chance of them being caught if they are commit the offences while covering Uber fares... assuming the offences are reported to the Gardai.

Uber ‘failing to report sex attacks’, police claim in damning letter (https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/uber-fails-to-report-sex-attacks-police-claim-in-damning-letter-a3610521.html) (London Standard, Aug 2017)
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4741030/Figures-Uber-drivers-linked-one-sex-attack-week.html (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4741030/Figures-Uber-drivers-linked-one-sex-attack-week.html)
How safe is your Uber? Growing concern as police figures suggest company's drivers are linked to one sex attack in London per week
Police figures show sex attacks involving Uber drivers up 50 per cent in a year
From February 2015 and February 2016, there were 32 claims made against firm's drivers in London
In the past 12 months to February 2017, that figure shot up to 48 alleged attacks
But Uber said such incidents are 'incredibly rare' and result in driver bannings

Rats ur not roy dont become obnoxious
Im talkibg about uber world wide not hust here
I know its ur site try not defend the rideshare crew

Logically it's up to the victim whether s/he wants to report a sex crime to the old bill. Strange as it may seem, many don't. Once reported it's up to the old bill to investigate and liaise with dispatch firms and TfL as appropriate. Murders are slightly different in that the victims never report them so it's unlikely that the dispatch firm would have any knowledge before the old bill get involved.
London is similar to here in that all Uber drivers are licensed by the relevant authorities. Perhaps the old bill need to look at vetting procedures relevant to licensing PH drivers?

Liam, Rats is indeed Not Roy, Roy ran his site as a poster and administrator together.
This new site has its own admin team of which Rats is prob head honcho and a few unknowns helping out.
But he posts as himself the poster, Not as himself the administrator.
-
He might be posting as the poster
boy oul fella for MyTaxi after his appoinment with the team at HQ!!

He'd probably be instructed to take his site offline and toe the company line!!
