Cant help but notice the "Members" that are logged on but never Contribute.
Wonder are they Spy's ?
-
Yes there are a few from Metaxi and one from thr Irish Independent that I know of .
-
Maybe Revenue as well !
Extremely naughty, perhap's we should talk in code and only let bona fide driver's in on it
-
Tin foil hats lol

No Tin Foil Hats,
More Like playing cards and showing your hand to the rest of the player's at the table, you probably don't have much chance of winning then
-
Back when Mytaxi was Failo one of the office staff used to ring some of us and refer to our moaning on here and threaten to remove us from the app for breaking the terms and conditions.He left in the end.What better way to feel the mood of your drivers than log in here.The ambassadors aren't gonna say anything negative down in Mount street out of fear of their earnings being curtailed.They're the hungry bastards after all.
You have to remember all it takes is 20% of drivers to stop using the app before the thing becomes paralysed.The remaining 80% will be driven mental with multiple job offers and will end up turning it off or rarely using it.It's only a bit software at the end of the day.
-
My missus has to log into boards.ie every few days to see if anyone is moaning online about the company she works in.
Many of the bigger companies have staff employed to monitor social media to maintain/defend their good reputation against moany bastards like us..
-
I don't think we're moany bastards,we're just stating facts as we see them from an individual pov....if the few drivers on here happen to have similar experiences then it's probably a given that there are plenty of drivers not registered on this forum who are having similar experiences with the dominant taxi app....maybe reps of that dominat taxi app who might be logged in here might take note or.....just couldn't give a bollox!!
-
They have taken notice in the past. In fact they went from threatening to sack and sue me to inviting me to meet with management a few years back. PUC was reinstated shortly after said meeting.
-
What were they threatening to sue you for....letting drivers air their personal experiences/grievances with regard to their app?
-
Ah well I suppose were all safe then, once the Wife's don't read the post's lol
-
Nha.. it wasn't for owning/running the site, Hal. It was for something I posted, probably on Roy's at that time... can't remember precisely what they took issue with but it was Dermot making the threats... all hot air, he didn't even sack me in the end despite my only response being to concede that it was his prerogative. I didn't alter any posts or refrain from repeating them, as I do.... in fact, I posted a full account of the phone call.
-
If mytaxi is listenin.....Last nite I got a meaty job and accepted and then I got it an then It went gfukin blank and the ambassadors cnut in front stopper his car obviously he was given it....
Why ???? A few stickers on his car ??.?.
Yiz have a fukin monopoly on the app business ye silly cnuts .....why alienate drivers like meself with beautiful new technologically advanced vehicles valeted every day and a driver that is great crack( but doesn't take any shite) showers every day and doesn't rob or fiddle wit customers wer bits and knows all the back alleys shortcuts and is a hit wit the ladies.....why ? Wat sort of business school did you go to? At wat point in yur silly life did common senses fly out the fukin windy ?
I'm in bad fukin mood now .....
Wit yur givin my work to yur licky lacky arse lickers you become the fukin enemy...
Why dont you bring in fairness of work distribution and get all drivers on yur side ?
Stop unfair competition....
You've alienated customers from the start whit an app that was overengineered and stopped working like hails simple but user friendly simplicity....yur alienated drivers wit yur app and yur unfairness.....
The problem wit mytaxi is too many chiefs fuking the whole thing up..........
Lot of people have no loyalty to ya and are itching for someone else to come in and bury ya....
Wake the fuk up

Thankfully you are now taking some credit fer that Stephen, I have always championed your (And John M's) feat on that day. ::cheers

I've seen Dermot on the road with Flag stickers.Still driving a heap of shite mondeo last time I saw him.

That was Dave your thinking of, Dermot was a big age and took his few quid and scarperred off to Spain.
-
No Dave was in a different new shape Mondeo.My eyes are pretty good Belker..
I'd be surprised if Dermot lapsed his plate.Many lads see it as a lifejacket if something else doesn't work out.
Let's be honest right now any money pumped into Flag could be considered wasted.

His plate is 20061.In a Renault fluence now since March by the looks of it.I deffo seen him working in the last year.

Bill musta been more ruthless than the radio presenters.

Bill is a condescending swine who thought he better than us taxi drivers and had a right to sack and verbally abuse us at will
I'm suprised mytaxi and fn took him on
If ur reading this bill ur still a big stupid cunt who hides behind a desk and I personally think ur a bully who picks on weak vulnerable taximen

I dunno what your problem with Bill is Liam ?
I've known the man since the early Hailo days and have always found him to very gentlemanly and professional.
Taxi drivers do tend to act the maggot quite a bit and every base owner or app owner has to crack the whip now and again or else acting the maggot would become the norm.

What kind of fukkin people are yis ?? Yet supposed to be self employed, yet yis are talking on here like little scared children. When the fukk will ye all realise these cunts need you much more then you need them. Will yis ever grow up ffs

I did see the video and Bill was all wrong, I also noticed that the poster cowardly hid his own identity while posting about Bill.
-
Do you know what, I cannot read this fukkin tread anymore it makes my blood boil. I know ACTUALL employees , in real 9 to 5 jobs, who are a lot less scared then you lot. Are yis been serious, are are yis only trying to wind people like me up ? It's nothing short of unbelievable. SELF EMPLOYED MEN afraid of a pair of CUNTS who YOU employ, and your afraid of your shite. I really have to wonder about yis at times
-
Belker believes (wrongly IMO) that if he says anything negative towards Hailo/MT/Freenow he will be penalised with less work.
The boss of Freenow could take a shite on his bonnet and Belker would say thank you sir can I have another.

Bill was a pig ignorant swine who liked roaring at drivers
Fn rained him in a little after the sticker video
2 weeks ago I was in the fn office and he back again screaming at drivers
Fuck fn they need us more than we need them
-
Ah now you really ARE taking the Arthur bliss. Are you seriously telling me that drivers actually took that shite from that cunt who YOU are keeping in a job ????
-
I'd love to meet some of these pricks to see would they roar and shout at me
-
Call in....free sticker removal on Tuesdays!!

What are ya talking about free sticker removal ??

No, I don't even know who the cunt is, but I gaurentee you if he ever shouted at me, or tried to bully me , as he appears to have done to some of the drivers he would never do it again make no mistake about it

There's a vid out there of him ripping Hailo stickers off a taxi roofsign near their office on Upr Mount St.
-
His plate is 20061.In a Renault fluence now since March by the looks of it.I deffo seen him working in the last year.
maybe he comes home to keep the plate active, and doesn’t trust anyone enough to rent it out let out long term. Or else things aren’t as rosy over in Espania
Hal, I dunno what he does over there.
-
I checked it . That bloke is coming up as a fella called Dermot, I thought you said his name was Bill . Maybe I got the plate number wrong
-

The plate number belongs to Dermot...he was one of the three amigos in Hailo...along with Bill Costello(Free Now) and Dave(now of Flag).

Is that crowd flag still going ? I thought they were dead and buried

-

the cab companies did their best to get drivers work, drivers paid for that service. Some companies brought in uniforms to better the work the drivers were looking for, eg hotels etc etc.
Have you ever had a radio DM?
-
No never had a radio. I believe being self employed means exactly that. Not being told by a 3rd party what to wear, how much to charge, being treated like an employee, when the drivers are actually the employer. Think about this. You are a SELF EMPLOYED business man or taxi driver in this case. Now as such , you decide to employ the services of a dispatcher to provide work to you, but you are the man who owns the business right ? Now suddenly the dispatcher you have engaged to provide work to you, (and that is his only function) starts laying down rules for YOU, instead of YOU making the rules for HIM, can you not see anything wrong with that. ???

DM, would it not be like say a self-employed Builder who bids for a job and gets the work.
The person he is building for lays down the Law(way he wants building done/cleanliness/ etc), is this not similar ?
-
I think we've talked about this before...unfortunately the day when people left their house and stood in the pissins of rain hoping an empty taxi would pass are long gone,technology(the phone) led to some taxi drivers seeing a niche in the market where there was a centralised booking...a taxi company.....now with expanding technology we have the interweb and smartphones and people ordering taxis don't even need to go to their neighbours(and leave 20p) for the use of their phone to ring a joe...it's all tap tap now,taxis even accept credit cards now...well most do anyway.
-
STC it's not at all like the example you describe of the builder. In this case the taxi driver already has an established business up, and running. In this case he decides to engage the services of a 3rd party ( completely unnessesarly in my view) but instead of the taxi driver conducting his business in a professional manner, he allows this 3rd party to manipulate him , and direct his business for him therefore demoting him to the status of an employee withour employee status, or benefits
-
DM, I fully understand and respect your stance on the 3rd Party , I am in the game over 15 year's , like you was never with a radio company (because I never trusted the cnuts).
Fortunately/Unfortunately as Hal has said technology has now taken over and if we want to survive we have got to embrace it.
It would be great if we could turn the clock back and make loads of CASH from the streets but I don't think that is ever going to happen as the world is slowly/quickly becoming a cashless society, even the beggers will have to have Credit Card machines if they want to survive.
-
But you this is the point I have been trying to make all along . Of course people will go back to hailing cabs on the street. Do you really believe people won't go into town just because they now have to come out on the street to get a cab ,? The only reason people tap a button on their phone now is, because they are fukkin spoilt. They are not going to turn around and say im not going out because I now have to come out to get a cab rather then tap a button . They are glad to hail a cab on Friday, and Saturday nights, and they just have to be trained to do that again. Drivers need to understand we can operate without dispatchers, but dispatchers cannot operate without drivers. Now looking at that situation from a logical point of view, who do you think holds all the aces ? That's right drivers. But what do the drivers choose to do ? They give control of THEIR business to these dispatchers
-
...taxis even accept credit cards now...well most do anyway.
Never, Never, Never!
-
<snip>...Now looking at that situation from a logical point of view, who do you think holds all the aces ? That's right drivers. But what do the drivers choose to do ? They give control of THEIR business to these dispatchers
The person who pays you money for a service!
Everything has moved/is moving to the internet. Even you are sharing your opinion with us on this internet site, instead of a taxi rank!
-
Free Now hold the aces now. They own the work. If taximen don't want it they'll give it to unlicensed cars.
-
Wrong rat, I keep coming back to the point we can operate without them, but they cannot operate without us. Yet we choose to give them total control of our business
-
OIf course they can. They already use hackneys and clapped out shiteboxes masquerading as limousines to cover taxi fares... if they lost all their taxis Govt would allow P2P rideshare in an act.
-
Wrong rat, I keep coming back to the point we can operate without them, but they cannot operate without us. Yet we choose to give them total control of our business
True but we can't operate without passengers. And an awful lot of them choose to press a button on their phone.
Same with cash. Plenty of young people nowadays don't carry cash, they pay with their phone, their watch and god knows what else. That's why I have the sumup gadget. (Well, that & American tourists going to the airport)
-
And do you seriously think people would stop using taxis just because they didn't have the luxury of pressing a button ??
-
The button exists. If the FN button disappeared, another button would appear.
Another 'service business' example might be the chipper/pizza shops. When was the last time you drove down the pizza shop, waited 10mins, and drove home with your pizza. The vast majority of people are happy to phone/internet their pizza order, wait 30mins, pay €2 delivery charge, give the delivery guy a tip, while they watch Eastenders or whatever.
We, and pizza shops, are at the extreme end of options. People can walk, bicycle, bus, drive themselves, etc. People can cook their own food, ffs! When you get to our end of the spending spectrum, people will pay extra to get what they want. They'll pay €2 for you to drive to their front door. They do not think, 'I'll save €2 if I walk to the bottom of my road and wait 10 mins in the rain for a taxi to come along.' Half the world's population is women - just sayin'... O:-)
-
Well it's not so long ago your videos,/ owners interfered in your business by telling you NOT to charge 2 euro call out unless I'm mistaken ?
-
Well,the sooner the better they invent a time machine the better,go back and take out Alexander Graham Ding dong!!
-
Well it's not so long ago your videos,/ owners interfered in your business by telling you NOT to charge 2 euro call out unless I'm mistaken ?
You're not. Under the then mytaxi brand it was the last dispatcher to abolish discounts as the economy came out of recession.

Ebbs introduced the no PUC.
-

That is a ridiculous question because the 'button' does exist and it won't be going anywhere any time soon.
Lucky fer you that you have some juicy spots in the pale where you get enough flag downs to keep you going.
I will only speak fer myself as a Cork driver and say that no way could I rely on street work only, maybe I could if I was to join ranks but that is not my thing. I cruise the streets and work FN, that is what works best fer me.
-
Belker believes (wrongly IMO) that if he says anything negative towards Hailo/MT/Freenow he will be penalised with less work.
The boss of Freenow could take a shite on his bonnet and Belker would say thank you sir can I have another.
I wouldn't agree with all that MFH, I had a bit of a spat published on here with them recently when they introduced the 5 Euro cancellation fee to customers after only TWO MINUTES but only applied the scrub to us after FIVE MINUTES, apart from that I don't really have any problems with the company, they offer me jobs on screen, if I like it I take it, if'n I don't then I decline it. PUC negates the commission.
-
Another example of drivers being treated like employees is, they just fall in line if the dispatcher says your not to charge a PUC. that is not a matter for the dispatcher, it's a matter for the driver. You have only hired this dispatcher to dispatch work to you, not to direct how you should run your business

I'm only guessing that No dispatcher does that anymore, at least not the FN dispatcher that I sometimes take jobs from when they suit me.
-
Are you saying it is NOT the case that dispatchers once issued such a directive, and that drivers DID NOT fall in line with that demand ???
-
@ DM, Do you go by the NTA rules ?
As in do you have your door signage as required on your Joe ?
Do you have your meter sealed as per requirement ?
Have you passed the required annual NCT ?
Is your cab clean enough to pass Suitability ?
Self Employed ??
-

They all did indeed, and I did too, but that is History, those days are long gone....
Today it's full fare + PUC + Extra passengers and no exceptions (except family), Maybe !
-
Yes I comply with a
ALL the regulations as laid down by the GOVERNING BODY for taxi regulation. I DO NOT comply with regulations as laid down by a 3rd party who I hired for the sole purpose of providing me with work, for which I would pay them a fee
-
We should have a Protest to the NTA to make it non-compulsory fer Taxi drivers to be affiliated with a dispatch firm.
-
@ DM, Why de Fook you care so much about what other drivers and dispatchers are doing mystifies me ?
Fer me I work the street, work FN when it suits me, get a birra work on me private phone, and I couldn't give a Flying Fook about what anyone else is doing.
We are all just looking out fer ourselves and trying to make a birra coin, none of us (base owners, app owners, drivers) are ever going to be Millionaires, we are just playing the game and surviving to pay our bills, and Yes Base owners and App owners do have bills too !
-
You may well laugh Ken, but it is actually the position of the government to have all taxis compulsory aligned to dispatchers. Indeed this was expressed to myself, and two other drivers some years ago by the then minister Alan Kelly during a meeting in Kildare at. As far as I'm concerned drivers are playing right into their hands. When the time comes for compulsory alignment, and dispatchers are calling the shots, what happens when pay per job is done away with, and you have to pay a weekly freight to them, and at the same time there is no work out there because of recession. This is what my concern is. If you give dispatchers total control, they can do what they fukkin like with you. It's all great now, cause no such problems exist, but you just wait and see what happens when they get total control

-
Ken you said I should join the real world of what really will happen ? Well I'll tell ya what will happen. Recession will really happen . Work will dry up as a result , that will also really happen. Your beloved dispatcher will have total control of the industry , that will really happen. When they DO get control, you will be scrambling around trying to make up the dispatchers weekly freight that will really happen, and here is the punchline you'll be first in line to complain that these people now run the industry, and where are you going to find a ton plus every week to pay them
-
FN already own the business, all drivers have given it to them, they are much more expensive than traditional despatchers ever were. Drivers were never a united group, and never will be.
-
F/N are very close to having total control, and when they do get it, and the others are no longer serious players, they will go to the government and insist on compulsory alignment, and they will find they will be pushing an open door. I can then see them changing the rules from a PPJ to a weekly frieght. When the recession kicks in, and drivers have to find 100 euro plus a week, that's when the fun will start this is why I am always urging drivers to take back control before it's to late.
-
Some are paying €200+ already.They're gonna increase the commission at some point to 15% like the already do in the UK.
-
Yes and there is nothing to stop them doing once they have everyone signed up.
-
Honestly Daly they could do it tomorrow and probably get away with it.Many of us are no longer able to work without it.Lads who used to work just the ranks have gone 100% app.
Next year(febuary I was told) we're definitely getting mandatory card payments so it might pull some work back to the ranks but it's hard to tell.If someone takes cards that automatically makes them more traceable.
-
That's another thing I believe should be strongly opposed by drivers is the facility to offer card payment. I gaurentee anyone who offers such facilities at the moment, has seen a decrease in their takings is tips

Sorry ocky, I take full responsibility for starting you off

That's another thing I believe should be strongly opposed by drivers is the facility to offer card payment. I gaurentee anyone who offers such facilities at the moment, has seen a decrease in their takings is tips
Time for DM to return to ZOG

Well Bob the only reason the use of credit cards became poplar in the taxi industry in the first place was, because the dispatchers introduced it. This is yet another example of the dispatchers guiding the way things will be run in the future, but at least on the planet zog we run our own affairs

Not if you ask them, on cabapp it asks you to add tip i always make sure its in the customers hand and let them decide to tip or not, 8 out of 10 do probably because they are embarrassed not to but fukk em

Fair play if you can get a little bit extra.I haven't used cabapp in a long time.

Always tap "No" before I hand it to them" Call it the sin of pride. I asked Cabapp if they could remove that facility for me, they said "No"
-
I always tip but have given up on expecting tips anymore.The fares aren't so short these days with the traffic.Just another unexpected consequence of taking credit cards or covering app work.
Many tourist ask me if they should tip as they've been told not to before they get to Dublin.My answer is always if you get a good service tip if you want.

I would be the same as you Harry, I thought it cringe worthy to be handing over the reader and ASKING fer a tip.
Thankfully Sum-up don't have that feature.

just last weekend i was asked by a customer could he pay by card, i said yes, the fare was 19 euro, he said take 25.

The non-tippers that really bug me are the early morning running late FN customers.
Fer instance I had this young lad from Glasheen in Cork last week going to the Aer coach fer a 7am bus of a Sunday morning, in he sits at 6.53 giving out stink about how his booked FN driver had cancelled on him, it's a 12 minute journey from Glasheen to the Aer coach and I tell my customer along the way; "We will be tight on time but when we get there I will pull in in-front of the Aer coach so as he cannot drive off without you". He laid the mountain of praise upon me as I completed the approx 12 minute journey (semi-illegally) in just over 5 minutes. Did he leave a Tip ? Nada !
-
I know Everytime we go on away trips with the football club, there is ALWAYS a collection for the driver. Now in fairness he could be going to cork, or Derry, etc but even if it's only Dundalk, or droghteda, there is still a collection for him

As Bull$hit goes I have been telling this totally True story to a lot of my customers over the last few weeks,
every one of them without exception burst out in laughter at the Punch-line !
I had this fare a street pick-up off 'Pana' (St. Patrick street) last Sunday night, in she sits, big lass, Thigh high Black boots, Black leather mini-skirt, tattoo's on her thighs, about 40 odd and dragging this skinny young fella (about 30) behind her. She wasn't too bad looking but was a tad on the 'Rough side', anyway the song on the Cab radio 4FM was the hit from 'Survivor' called 'Eye of the Tiger' and yer-man-o starts belting out the tune. Yer-wan-o was all over yer man till he starting singing and then in her most common accent she comes out with; "Ah, wud ya ever shur up, dat wer ME WEDDING SONG !".

A 12 minute journey in just over 5 mins would equate to you doing twice the speed limit ken. I can see why you said you're no angel but in all honesty I would never break the rules of the road for any fooker particularly one who is running late. You risked €80 fine and 3 penalty points for some sham you didn't know and for what? Well in your own words, nada!

As a night time Taxi driver you don't need to make up stories.
What happens right in front of you is just beyond belief !

It was more of an explanation than an apology ken, you know it, I know it and I'd hazard a guess and say the dog on the street knows it. But sorry anyway if I offended you again.

So explain in full, is it an apology or not Martin ?
No Second Chances this time !
-
It was an explanation as to why I stuck in jimmy there. It was NOT a suggestion that you are a paedo and well you know it. It was in reference to YOUR story and was just thrown in, as you know. But if you insist that I apologise for calling you a paedo, even though I didn't (as you know) then I apologise. It seems you like apologies ken so yea, theres another feather for your cap, a notch on your bedpost. Btw who the fook is Martin? Are you suggesting I'm like Martin Cahill, as in the general? Apologise immediately ken!

Or luther king ken? Or sheen? Which is it? Either way I want an apology, fcuk that.
