I thought my subject description was better....more accurate!!

Obviously they are no longer interested in incentivising drivers to cover work in the busiest periods anymore

What kind of donuts will you be bringing to their Cork office?
Maybe best not to answer as Ken will only one up ye!!
-
They've figured out that the lads chasing the bonuses were the lads most likely to be using the app anyway. Better off keeping their funds to compensate angry passengers.I'm sure they'll drop the commision soon to take any gains away that Flag might have made.
-
Is it opt in???? rofl rofl
-
Silent protest from ermy....i hope!
-
No doubt plenty of turkeys on here will be chasing it.
-
16 jobs in one shift that could be 80 minutes waiting time plus travelling time to the job lets say two hours working time or a score an hour .It works out you are only be paid for the time you waste covering the work .
-
Be nice to Mytaxi customers, they'll be using the service when the ranks are full in January. 8)
-
Was it not 100 for 20 jobs last time?
Fuck it it's crap
-
I'm not interested.
-
Work it out .How much does it cost you for your car ,Your insurance fuel ,maintainance .Average car costs 27k before interest lets say 60 a week just to own a car .Juice to earn a Grand is at least a ton, insurance average 2500 a year thats 50 a week Licences and nct is a 5 iver cleaning at least a fiver a week new tyres and service per year 1500 ..thats 240 a week before you make any coin add in tax Prsi Social charge you are paying 30% of your income before income tax add in income tax on earnings @ 10% you are paying nearly 40% of your takings on business costs .So for every 10.00 you take your peofit is 6.00 if you take a tenner on Metaxi they charge you on the Gross 10.00 @12 % = to 1.20 is actually -=to 20% of your profits .you are paying 1.20 on every 6.00 profit ..Thery are riding you like a two buck whore you just never worked it out .
-
Add to that 5k plus if your with a dispatch company
-
I thought my subject description was better....more accurate!!
I thought it warranted discussion outside of the members area, particularly given open discussion of Flag's bonus scheme.
Anywaysanall, an extra €2.50/job isn't to be sneezed at but I don't start 'till 7 or 8 in the evening so I probably won't get close. Maybe it'll entice me into an earlier start of a Saturday....
-
I cover much less mytaxi work now than what I used to, not a hope would I cover 16 jobs in a shift, especially at the busiest time of year with plenty of street work.
-
Extremely rare for me to take a street job these days, too high a concentration of scum among street hails up above in Dublin.

Most of the scum use older/burner phones because of Cops ability to track smartphones.
Hence the reason they street hail.
-
There should be loads of mytaxi work up to 4 o'clock !
-
Never saw metaxi as a viable way of working commission is to high but it is a valuable add on just run it and if a job offer you like pops up cover it Dont see why any non ambassador would bother their bollox chasing the bonus considering they shit in your mouth by allocating the good work to the chosen few .I cant remember the last time I covered 16 jobs in a week never mind a shift my average since I signed up id 4.2 jobs a week I have a 7% acceptance rate .If they dropped the ambassadors and offered nearest driver gets first refusal I might consider upping my acceptance rate .I dont turn it on monto thursday as it only offers shite work as the ambassadors have cherry picked .
-
My average fare is €17 pre commission.12 % of that is €2.04 giving a net fare of €14.96.
There is a €2.00 pick up charge.
The commission is on average costing me 4 cents a job.
Have you done the maths at all?

And 3/4's of those over 60.......let's not get carried away. The Doro and blue-rinse brigade are our betters in many ways.

Always thought John it was the nearest car got the job unless an ambassador was the same distance from it.
-

No its ambassador then priority or whatever method they use .I ws out one night with her and she hailed a metaxi .I was sitting beside her with my app turned on so in principle i was the nearest less than 1 meter and I never got the job offer .The system is to opaque they dont say how it operates and who gets fed the good work and who gets the crap .
-
Works along the same lines as Dispatchers do......do this and that or else you'll end up doing what nobody else wants.
-
John the app must have your head wrecked.
Your logging in even when your out with your misses.
Try not to worry about the priority cars and the ambassadors cars.
Loads of work out there.
Or just delete it if it’s upsetting you.

Most traders make profits, VD... nearly covering related expenses wouldn't work for a lot of folk.
-
Entirely missing my point.
He said the commission was too high to be viable.
I showed that the commission costs you nothing,because you can only charge the 2 euro on a booking.
-

No you failed your maths test the two euro is earnings you are offsetting earnings against the commission ..If i earn 600 off the street i keep it all if i earn 600 off metaxi it costs me 24 in commission plus free waiting time and possible 2 yoyo backhander plus the time it takes me to get to the job .
-
I understand your point, VD. What I am suggesting is that most traders require profit i.e. if you take in €2.00 in respect of a booking it's not necessarily viable to pay most, all or (in your example) more than that in relevant expenses.
-
I'll break this down as simply as I can.
40 Street jobs at 15 each=600
40 mt jobs at 15 each,plus 2 puc=680
12% is 81.60 leaving 598.40
As for waiting,I'd say it averages about 2 minutes per job .
Does time spent sitting on a rank scratching your hole not count?
-
So you're making a small loss on the call out fees... that obviously doesn't suit everyone.
-
I fukkin miss sitting around doing nothing.No time to eat or clean me motor or talk bollox to the lads.Bring on the next recession it's too busy.I don't like it...fukkin tax man is killing me..
-
mytaxi is quite anti-social. I rarely use (unofficial) ranks these days and there are noticeably less radio men parked up and engaging in social intercourse. On the plus side I have pretty much cut out fast food as I was in the habit of buying a chinese or a dinner box or a Big Mac Meal and 3 Hamburgers to eat while on the unofficial ranks... so it's not all bad!
-

I have a cunning plan merc To be debt free no mortgage ,bank loan ,credit card or credit loan by july 2019 .Then I might look for a job somewhere to retire to and collect weekly pay packet drive cab friday and saturday night if it suits me .shit job like post office sorting or order picking in the pharma industry clean light work stress free.Paid hilidays bank holidays and as you still have the taxi you can walk any time you want .
-
At your age it should be less work you're looking for... there's more to life...
-
I miss the banter of working with others ,wouldnt mind getting in somewhere with a little pension .The next recession is on the way pharma or post boom in recessions eviction notices and vallium recession proof .
-
Don't know why you'd bother looking for a real job if you're debt free...and still planning to drive your joe at the weekend....at present you're a self confessed 20hr a week man....and on that current income you're planning to be debt free by July 19....rent a gaff for the winter months in the Canaries and dump the missus!!
-
John if you done less on the theory of taxi driving and more on the practical side of taxi driving you would have been debt free a long time ago.
Imagine if you increased your working week by 5 hours you would still be only doing 25 hours a week.
Work in the bed sleep on the floor comes to mind.
-
Is it opt in???? rofl rofl
Would you and Rats ever let that one die ?
Ye will start him (John M) up again someday and none of us will be the better fer it !
-
Ask me hole Ken....my kids are teenagers and Santy has left the building....i look forward to Christmas now for the amusement of poking fun at John cos he didn't opt in for the bobo.....let me have this Ken...ye bleedin Grinch!!
-
.......... an extra €2.50/job isn't to be sneezed at but I don't start 'till 7 or 8 in the evening so I probably won't get close.
Maybe it'll entice me into an earlier start of a Saturday....
I'm Not terribly interested is this derisory Bobo offer,
God be with the days when it used to be a Ton !
I might try it on the Two Saturdays and if I make it so be it,
but I won't be chasing it too hard.
Fridays are no good because the traffic is brutal up til 7pm.
Me small fella has a match tomorrow at 2pm so I should be
on-shift fer about 4pm and I'll text ya Rats to let ya know how
I'm getting on, hardly worth it fer 40 Bucks, but sure if'n we
are racing, then it will add a birra sport to the night !
-
Not racing, the earliest I'll be in is 6... Might try to stay out 'till 2 but it's a long time since I worked after midnight to be honest. I won't be in the running today as I was up at 08:30 to attend a funeral mass up above in Dublin at 10.

No Hal, ya can't Fookin have it ! Do you not remember what happened about that Hailo 'Opt-in' Bobo with John M the last time around, a Fookin year he kept his protest going (whilst totally in the wrong) and we all had to read the constant drivel post's so as to stay apprised of the outcome, an entire Fookin year it went on fer ! Do you really want all that over again ?
If ever a case could be made fer a cliche, then this is it; "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie !".

No worries, I'll text ya to let ya know how I got on, almost seems embarrasing to be chasing a Forty Euro Bobo, but tomorrow the hours required are exactly what suits me.

Same as.
-
I work the Gravy hours 00.00 to 07.00.
Lucky to do 8 MYTAXI jobs in the Bonus time.
So Street jobs in the city, MYTAXI jobs in the Burbs.
Bonus is irrelevant particularly when it finishes at peak busy period at 02.00. Streets are pinball for the next 3 hours.
-
Couldn’t work those hours.
Family life and social life fooked.
Never mind the health
-
No Christmas bonus for me tonight,I only did 6 m t jobs after 4pm.
Everytime I went to accept an app job someone put out their hand at the side of the Road.
Still,it was a trummer Friday without the bobo.
-
And mostly cash
Sur how bad Vandriver

A VIP driver said they pay a 3 Euro bribe/Hospitality fee.
Lymp drivers give 10% discount to punters on account PLUS 80 freight. Averaging 160.
Although some overcharge all the state accounts to make up for the charge...allegedly.
-
Prob 2 much competition in Dublin so dispatch companies have to give discounts.
-
Idid 2 metaxijobs yesterday Prebooked in that traffic is a joke .Took a job yesterday for 4pm from Liffey valley office complex to city I live 3minutes away left home at 22 minutes before pick up time had to ring customer due to traffic and they canceled .My limit for metaxi jobs in this traffic is under 1k and i must know the exact location and no offer accepted inside the canal cordon .
-
Prebookings are best left to the (immigrant) ambassadors.
-
I often give it a coat of lookingover if there is anything over 25 Ill grab it toget me started .Often grab job from Newcastle into town its about 6K from my bunker to Newcastle but yu are getting paid for the return .30+ for your first job covers the Fuel for the shift .
-
What are you whinging about then? Either do them or leave them to the (immigrant) ambassadors, the choice is yours.

I’m sure do that but i never did.
You’re almost as bad as The Erm is to MyTaxi as you are to Lynk. No one wants to hear your issues with Lynk, either shit or get off the toilet

Never compleated more than one prebook in a shift rodent .

The part of the business that punters never see..

Ken sent me a SMS message confirming 16 jobs completed at 23:04, no update on the 20. I completed 18 jobs by 2a.m. myself after an early start at 18:17. Woulda got the 20 but for a couple of long runs but hey ho, the 40 notes covers freight for the night - jeez when I worked for C2K we got a whole week's freight for €80 with no priority, immigrants, ambassadors or hospitality fees. Anywaysanall, I finished in Drogheda at c.02:29, phone was hopping with mytaxi offers up there but I was too pig headed to take anything as the bonus finished at 02:00.
-
^ I guess a welcome side effect (from mytaxi's point of view) was that I didn't bother running Flag. As I didn't work Wednesday or Friday I was already well out of the running for their bonus so there was no point to allowing it compete for internet resources.
-
I personally think working MyTaxi jobs are a no brainer. I've never had any hassle from anyone one using it, no haggling, no food, nothing. And when it's busy people are generally delighted I to get a taxi though the app, which results in happy customers/happy driver.
-
Same here but it's not foolproof. There was a spate of robberies carried out by immigrants using the app up above in Dublin a while back. I apply the same criteria as I would to street/rank fares though i.e. if they're not fit to travel they don't travel... however, since I started working for Hail0 in 2014, I've only had cause to refuse service to two intending passengers.
-
Your right RT, it's not foolproof, and it's only a matter of time before a get a dickhead to ruin my night. If there is any problems, MyTaxi have an office and they accommodate you best they can. If you pick up a street job, you don't know who they are, or if they have money, and you have no comeback.
I like the added security of paying 12% for less hassle, although I would like if that amount was less.
-
Not sure how far as "best they can" extends. It would be a pretty simple exercise to equip all cars with panic buttons, etc. At the end of the day drivers are an inconvenience to mytaxi, nothing more than scum they have to tolerate for the time being - they've already outlined their objectives regarding autonomous cars.

Three my back out.
Decided I'd strap myself into the car full of painkillers.
Went out to the car to find a puncture.
With the bad back it took me an hour and a half to change the wheel.
No Sunday service unless you want to pay 40 quid.
Got out to work and only got account/card .
You have my sympathy.

I had one last night on a MyTaxi job at 5am, out comes yer-man-o with phone in hand and his mate behind him falling all over the place, he starts off with; "Will ya take him......?" and the only thought in my mind is Rat Catchers "Not fit to travel" quote, but I reckoned that quote was beyond comprehension to the Two lads, so I just said; "Sorry, he is too drunk" and drove off, thankfully he cancelled me.

That's a 'Grey' area FW, personally between 1am and 4am I want to see what I'm picking up standing in the street in front of me and I will make my choice from there.

Ken sent me a SMS message confirming 16 jobs completed at 23:04, no update on the 20......
Honestly, I had the Bobo by 11pm without any effort or chasing, as I only started at 4pm,
I had me dry cleaning to pick up and Three different stores to go to fer shopping and I did
all that and still had it completed by 11pm. I eventually got the 20 luckily just before 2am
from an Aer coach job.

Lip Metaxi will use the data to prove that taxi driving is a viable employment with drivers able to cover 20 jobs per shift and then present all the uncovered jobs to say we need more taxies .Lads building the case for their own demise .

Damned if you do(mytaxi jobs)..damned if you don't!!
They could use the data anyway they want, to say what they want, to whoever they want to hear it!
Let's build more carparks,cos apparantly they can't get one to provide their rideshare.

The more work they can't cover the greater the perceived need for more taxis. However, they already have support from all of the drivers trade Unions in calling for more taxi drivers.

Be sayin that for years SB.....there's not one politician has the stones to suggest that pubs open later or even staggered hours...but no problem suggesting that the fast food outlets close earlier before the pubs so revellers can't hang around town....but forgetting the simple fact that there isn't sufficient transport to get people home....but it's a lack of taxis....wouldn't dream of stepping on any union feet regarding other public transport....Nitelinks are a shite service...they're always nearly empty and unless you make your way to city centre are pretty much useless.

I say that too about closing time, it was so much better when there was staggered closing times.

The D4 elitist who co- defended Billy Kelly in the Don Tidey kidnapping scandal........the man whose grandfather(Eoin MacNeill), co-founder of the Gaelic League, called for the Rising to be abandoned.......ex-Tanaiste and Attorney General and true blue.......his name translated from Gaelic means black foreigner. Gas race, the Irish.
-
Binge drinking.....caused by shouts for last orders......"3 pints,3 double vodkas and coke and a jemmy and red.....and i'll ask me burd what she's havin!"
Last orders is the one thing I hate about going for a pint up above in Dublin. It's far more civilised outside of the big smoke where nobody gives a fuck and/or the publican hates the thought of you leaving with coin in your phoca.
-
Get them in early .take their money..and then buck them out on the streets..with plastic cups cups
-
As the barman in an old local of mine used to shout... We have your money, now fuck off.
-
Agh!...the ould local....and there would be a car park full of them at closing time ,looking for you to go up the road.
-
Yep. Even during the great "we're not going back" strike of 2000 the filthy, dirty, stinking hackneymen queued up for our fivers.

Done 18 again last night. Didn't expect it of a Friday, especially as I didn't start until 18:42. In fact I went home at 02:03 to watch the darts I recorded. The 40 notes more than covers freight for the night and it was all clean, pleasant work.

Wasn’t there supposed to be a withdrawal of service last night on mytaxi
-
Was there? FFS, ifn I knew that I woulda gone down the pub to watch the darts. Where do you find out about these things?
-
WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook
There was a protest last Monday outside their office.
-
I knew about the protest, didn't hear anything about a withdrawal of service but I don't use Facebook so I only hear what's posted on here really.
-
I’m surprised The Ermmm hadn’t posted it. I’m not on here everyday so thought someone might have posted it
-
That's probably why I got the bonus with such ease of a Friday. I musta been the only driver working for mytaxi... apart from the driver who posted the topic about tech problems, that is... oops!
-
Got a SMS from Ken last night at 23:25 proclaiming 16 done... shortly before I retired to the bar, tired and bonusless. No update on the 20, again.

I only got the bare 16 last Sat night at 11.17pm before my snooze, it was hard work the week before getting the last 4 fer the 20 with a lorra cancellations and no contacts after midnight, 7 in all I counted between midnight and 2am last week.

There is a withdrawal of services every Friday and Saturday night between Midnight and 4am !
-
I didn't know anything about that, Ken. Where do you get all this information and why do you keep it to yourself? FFS, the only times I've worked much past midnight in the last 6/7 months has been to finish off the mytaxi bonus last Friday and the Saturday before that.
-
Looks like another withdrawelnof service this Friday,
I’ll cinfirm if it’s 4am to 4am or 4pm to 4pm, seems to be a bit of confusion around it.
I love the fact that the lads calling for these withdrawals of service don’t use the app much. It would be akin to The Errm calling for a boycott of it, or Rats calling for a bycott of Vodka
-
Withdrawal? Over 12% rideshare?
-
Could you find out the exact times,so I can fill my boots.
-
Withdrawal? Over 12% rideshare?
Yes Octavia, they don’t like that MT take 12 of tips and of jobs. They want 7% like rest of Europe(which isnt true)
@VD, No one still seems to know some saying 12 hours and others saying 24
-
Too much confusion, I think I'll just work... took the last two nights off anyway so that can count as my contribution this week.
-
Change of plan, going down the bar... let the withdrawal of services begin...
What do we want? 3% Commission!
When do we want it? At such juncture as proves reasonably practicable within prevailing market conditions!
All together now...
-
No withdrawal of service in Cork last night, got two SMSs from Ken at 01:20 proclaiming that he was just picking up number 20.
-
You'd need to remove Ken's sterring wheel to keep him off the road.I don't think that Facebook group has that far of a reach unfortunately.Roughly 300 members AFAIK. It's also closed to non-members.Of the exsisting members a good few are limo drivers who depend on the ap for their living.
-
I depend on it myself hence I had to take the night off and go to the bar. Waste of time working the suburbs up above in Dublin without mytaxi, Flag has little or no work.

flag need to make the customers location bigger...
Can't use it because can't see it
-
I think it's safe to say there will be no meaningful protest as long as drivers are happy with their earnings.Driver don't care about all the other shit Mytaxi does.It's fairly clear that they're content with the way things are.Can't blame them really.
-
There was a meaningful protest last night... I was as meaningful as a newt by the end of it.

Got about 6 flag offers over the last few nights, unfortunately I always had a passenger on board.

What Facebook group?? It’s a Telegram and WhatsApp group that are calling for the boycott. By drivers who don’t actually use the app, or rarely use it
-
Ah sorry I assumed it was the Dublin taxi driver page on FB. The Whatsapp group is probably smaller again and less effective.

It telegram group called Unite Taxi Drivers
And then various WhatsApp groups

Telegrams in this day and age! FFS, no wonder the message never reached Cork.

As fer the MyTaxi 'Chrimbo Bobo' fer me;
To date; I didn't work the First Friday night,
but got the Fifty on the next Sat night.
The Second Friday night me Joe broke down,
but I did make the 16 fer the Forty on the Sat.
I got the full 50 both nights the weekend after,
and again got the Fifty on St Stephens night.
And most likely that I will again make the Fifty
on NYE to bring my Chrimbo Bobo to 290Euro.
-
I got €40 on the 8th and €40 on the 14th. I'm pretty sure I only made the cut on the 14th because there was a withdrawal of service that I was unaware of. I could have got it on the 15th but I finished up about 23:42 and went for a pint instead. I didn't work any of the other bonus dates and I haven't yet decided whether I'll work New Year's Eve or not, although I'm leaning towards working as I've done a lot more socialising this year than usual, way more than my fair share.
-
I know I'm gonna get 'Slated' fer my above post, but in reality getting the Bobo is a 'Piece of Piss' to achieve, any Taxi driver worth 'His Salt' should have it all 'Done and Dusted' by Midnight. As the offer was a tad Derisory in my eyes then I never tried too hard fer it, but I just worked my normal hours which fortunately fell in more or less exactly as the MyTaxi 'Bobo' hours.
-
Obviously easier on the Friday shifts this year as, to date, the vast majority of the fleet would have supported the withdrawal of service on the 14th and the 21st. I didn't support the first one myself simply because I didn't know about it.
-
........ I haven't yet decided whether I'll work New Year's Eve or not, although I'm leaning towards working as I've done a lot more socialising this year than usual, way more than my fair share.
I will offer you Stephen a Challenge fer a Score a head on who can complete the most jobs between 4pm and whatever time you wish to finish up at on NYE, this includes Street hails, MyTaxi jobs or anything at all that is a Taxi Job.
I will set the starting time at 4pm and you can set the Finishing time as you see fit ?

What's this 'Withdrawing Shite' all about ?
Maybe a few idiot's are indeed 'Withdrawing' but ya can be Fookin guaranteed
that yer mate or the Immigrant driver next ta ya has the Yoke turned on !
Idiot's !!
-
Here we go... blame the immigrants. The facts suggest that immigrant drivers made up the majority of those who protested at the depot up above in Dublin. The press release posted on here (by the erm I think) was clearly written by an immigrant with relatively poor English language skills.
You'd win that challenge hands down. I don't maximise turnover or jobs covered when I work. As I generally (particularly when it's busy) only pick up north of Collins Avenue and east of the N2 I lose productivity on any drops outside of that geographical area... and I rarely start work before 19:16.
-
I made precisely zero in bobos.
I didn't think it was worth while working a lot later than I usually do for a few quid.
-
I only start at 00.04, so the MYTAXI bonus is pointless.

And your right VD, your a day driver and those Bobo hours would not suit you.
I'm a night driver and those Bobo hours suit me almost exactly, I'm not mad about the idea of doing a few hours on tariff 1, as I Fookin hate Tariff 1, but if'n your getting an extra 2.50 per job from MyTaxi, that easily covers the tariff difference.
Tariff 3 is de Kiddie ! NYE 8pm till 8am and de Bobo to boot ! Bring it on !!

Received statement this morning and didn’t receive bonus for 26th December or New Year’s Eve. Any one else not receive theirs?
-
I didn't receive any either , maybe because I was not arsed about earning it :)
-
Johnny got a bo
om boom!!

9th of December payment for these bonuses..

That's some fucking wait for 40 or 50 notes... what happens if you die this year? The two bonuses I earned were both paid the following Wednesday.

They kinda Fooked up the Bobo payments schedule.
Fer the First Two weekends we were paid the Bobo as usual the week after as outlined.
Fer the Third weekend we were supposed to be paid the Bobo TWO weeks later on Jan 2nd, but instead they paid us the week after.
But then they reverted back to Plan A which see's us getting the Stephens day and NYE Bobo payments on the 9th Jan.
So @ Smccartn, you should be paid your Stephens day and NYE Bobo next week as originally outlined by MyTaxi.
-
With the week ending on Sun 30th Dec and the month ending on Mon 31st means that you will most likely get Two statements and Two payments this week, One fer last weeks work and a Second statement fer Mon 31st Dec Only, which may or may not include the Bobo payments. I would guess that the Bobo will not be included in the 31st Only statement but will be paid next week.
It's all a bit confusing, but if you really want to figure it out, then read over my last Two posts whilst looking at a calendar.
MyTaxi added to the confusion by not sticking to their original payment schedule and deviating from it during week 3.
The online 'MyTaxi Christmas bonus payments schedule' has been taken down and replaced with an 'Error 404' message which kinda suggests that they know that they Fooked up ! https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b&q=mytaxi+christmas+payment+schedule (https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b&q=mytaxi+christmas+payment+schedule)
Anyway the Long and Short is that most likely all will be paid up to date by next Thurs 10th Jan.
-
I got 290Euro outta it.
Did anyone make the full 400 ?

F*ck nose what a Bonobo is. 8)
