Talk is Mytaxi got the Dublin Gig .Will the country runs go on fixed fares to the Hacks .limos .Why would you give the work to taxi drivers who you already have work for .
-
The HSE work in Cork is all on the meter.
-
There is a big question then .If the HSE work is on the meter were the dispatchers trousering the discounts for themselves .
-
I’d say this is the first year it’s happened.
-
I cant tell ya how happy this makes me,the first big contract lost by those bastards ,I hope its the begining of the end for them.let them go and try and take over another industry,and treat the SELF EMPLOYED like employees and see how far they get

That's why they're horrible cunts....charging freight and trousering a big % of drivers metered fares!! ::fds
-
So what's the reason for chasing this type of work?They already have difficulty covering the work they have.Are they trying to entice a few more drivers from NRC and Xpert?
They've been ringing my mobile almost every day for the last month.I'm guessing they don't know I have their number blocked.Driver recruitment can be the only motive I can see.
-
Maybe they feel there's more money to be had from drivers with discounts...drivers seem happy to accept whatever's thrown at them.
-
Id day there is a number of reasons for chasing it.(1) they want to monopolize the industry,and see off the competition,(2)they intend capturing all new entrants,( and a lot of existing drivers) (3) when they have total control,they can then make the rules without any resistance from the NTA,Goverment,or anyone else
-
My tuppence worth--they got County Dublin,Cork and Galway --basically anywhere they couldn't get covered !
-
I'd say it will cost you 12% + €2 hospitality charge
-
Hopefully radio scum companies will become surplas to requirement,not that they were ever required in the first place
-
NRC will be gone soon enough. I’d say the HSE was keeping them going.
Drivers will cover the HSE work as it’s not discounted and will only cost them 12% as opposed to a €89 base fee and whatever discount it was they gave.

(4) To promote P2P Rideshare.
-
possibly rat ,very possibly.could this be the start of my long held ambition to see the radio company scum heading for the exit door ? Let them fukk off and try another industry where they treat self employed men like employees and see how far they get
-
If any driver had the intelligence they'd ask to see the contract between the cab company and the receiver of the drivers discount.
If they'd more intelligence, they'd leave.
-
Its fear silver,I have learned that most taxi drivers have no balls when it comes to standibg up for themselves. Look at the way they allow scum to treat them like employees,instead of reminding this scum that THEY are actully the employers
-
I heard Ebbs even brought in a rule at the start that if you worked with him,you could not work with mytaxi. Absolutely astonishing,and whats even more astonishing is, the drivers actully accepted this
-

I told Ebbs when he was buying Blue Cabs and the drivers rent, that my rent was not for sale by Pat Claffey.
Finally he was told that the might have fooled the 50 or less drivers in the room (Although he alleges he bought 250)
Maybe he puts 250 drivers through his books.
I told him to give back my €250 deposit and close my account.
Maybe some guys like being indentured?
-
What deposit are. you talking about ? Are you telling me you have to give this scum a deposit as well ???
-

Think of the power an App provider has over its subscribers. The biggest multi-State manipulated insight into self-employment and revenue collection in history and it will evolve and evolve. Marxism requires the eradication of the middle-classes and those aspirants sitting nervously to enter the realm.
-
Dont know,what your talking about lippy,but I agree it sounds good.here, on a different note,what deposit is silver talking about ? Do you have to give the scum a deposit ,and if so for what ?
-
To be fair, freight with Irish dispatch firms was a lot lower than full-timers working for mytaxi have to pay and the Irish dispatch firms employ a lot more Irish people in their depots. I think mytaxi's success is largely down to it's open door policy. While full-time scum is paying through the nose it gives the part-time scum the opportunity to work for a dispatch firm at much more favourable rates. Back when I worked for C2K there were no immigrant drivers on the fleet (that has changed, I have seen a black lad working for them recently) whereas nearly all the immigrant drivers work for mytaxi so it has clearly given them the opportunity to cover radio work that previously wasn't available.
Of course, even with all the immigrants and part-time scum working for mytaxi and all the country drivers travelling up to Dublin to work for them they still complain that they can't cover the work. Where HSE work is concerned I guess that becomes a matter of life and death so the Minister will have to do something to get more cars/drivers on the fleet. They already use clapped out shiteboxes masquerading as limousines and hackneys to cover taxi fares so what next?
-
Its only going to go one way,MORE fukking licences issued to an indusrty, which is, ALREADY saturated with fukking taxis.WE DONT NEED ANY FUKKING MORE
-
To be fair to mytaxi it has tried everything to get the work covered... it's even looking into renting out scooters to potential riders.

Quickbooks
Loyalty Cards for Supermarkets
MyTaxi
Uber
Pharmacy Apps
I'm on about no stone being left unturned to ensure the end of privacy and conning the bastards in the civil service.
-
Is there a possibility that Mytaxi could be in a partnership with the likes of NRC and have set this up to keep Ebbs from taking the work?
A courier company I worked for used to buy smaller companies all the time.So when they were about to lose one big account they'd send in a slightly cheaper quote under a different name and retain the work.For the first few weeks we were told to keep our helmets on so the receptionists wouldn't remember us.
Only reason I ask is the last survey had questions asking me how I felt about NRC and VIP.They were fishing for something.Couldn't really understand it at the time.
-
Yis dont neeed any of them apps,or radios will yis never learn ?
-
Days.....yes you do. The Millenials set the standard, Dalyer, not the old-timers.
-
Im only 13 years in the game lippy,I dont think I could be called an old timet,unless of course its my age your refering to ?
-
I wasn't referring to you at all, Dalyer. The old-timers in question being those choosing to flag down versus use an App. If everyone under 30 is prepared to use an App to find themselves that "someone special" why would they want to get their BoHo beards and tats all wet by walking from Facebook to Café Android.

There is a shortage of Taxies on Monday to Friday from 8am to 9am and again on Monday to Friday from 5pm to 6pm, also on Friday and Saturday nights from 1.30am to 3.30am, that's 14 hours out of a 168 hour week, fer the other 154 hours we are all sitting in our cabs patiently waiting on the next job.

One of my regular customers now works for INRIX.
The reason why demand is high in Dublin at certain times:

Will be split 3 ways; thats why Ebbs hasnt been shouting from the rooftops trying to get fellas in; he's not entirely sure what he has yet. I'm curious to see how MyTaxi will work operating a 24/7 call center to service the contract.
-
Spunkers, junkies, ne'er do wells, homeless, pissy marys, and that's just the drivers!!
Fuck HSE, Ebbs deserves it.

Great work in the main but they screwed it up with the discounting. Give me someone ill over a walking tablet factory in his early 20's any day.

A work in progress but well down the line, I hear. The system needs rejigging so as not to totally exclude fellows and girls with roof signs.

Nothing to do with Lynk; just a person with a little bit of knowledge!

Good for you, Jack. Just ignore the paranoia,,,,,,
-
Will customers be forced to travel with immigrants? A lot of them will be used to Irish drivers.

Most are putting thwir hand in their own pockets therefore can ill afford to complain who's steering their free cab.

To be fair, a lot of older folk are opposed to multiculturisation. As they won't be the ones ordering the taxis or clapped out shiteboxes masquerading as limousines, as the case may be, they won't have any control over who/what is sent. How would an ill, racist, retired taximan cope with Sunday in his 2006 Lexus turning up to drive him to hospital and not a roof-sign or meter in sight? It could be the death of him.
