Title: Me taxi no shows
Post by: john m on February 22, 2019, 11:29:52 am
Have had a good few lately and not getting the scrub .Two lads in the car last night asked me was I on Mytaxi .Told me they and their mates play taxi roulette or taxi snooker for money .Taxi roulette is played by hailing a taxi and they bet on the first digit on the roofsign .When the taxi turns up the bet is settled and they are a no show .Sometimes they dont wait on the taxi to show they cancel immediatly .The other one is taxi snooker .As silver is the most popular colour for a taxi that is a white then the next car gets you the points if you dont get a silver you give the next shot to the next player .I have noticed hails that I took canceled straight away only to pop up immediatly again .

They just want a better driver and/or a better car.

Full of powder sitting in their room watching porn .Its all part of the betting culture you can bet on what happens next in football or cricket this way the bookie gets none of your cash you just pay your mates .

Ring them immediately.
If they're messers, call them at random times throughout the night. Get your friends to join in and bet on who gets blocked first.

App updated during the week and apparently there has been a load of double bookings. Maybe the customer realises that 2 cars are coming and cancels one

I think most of the G Cabs men use it but the punters haven't tuned in to any great extent. What I (and a few other locals I know) do whenever I'm down the bar is open the app to see if/where cars are parked and go out and hire them off the street if they're there or get the barman to ring G Cabs if they're not.

As an aside, I know a couple of the G Cabs drivers will stay up above in Dublin working for mytaxi if they get up there... like a lot of drivers from all over rural Ireland... all contributing to the perceived need for P2P rideshare in rural areas, I guess.
