Dear Emer .
There is NO taxi shortage .Let me explain !There is NO lack of taxis it is lack of access and Stupit passengers who expect a bespoke service for small change and do not read the situation .Crowds on the College Green Rank .Do they really believe any taxi coming in Georges Street or Dame Street would get as far as that rank empty?Stephens green ?Cuff Street into a dead end at Grafton Street or the Ely Place Maze to go East both are big AVOIDS in the taxi mans map ,ten or 15 minutes of your valuable time wasted to reach either of those Ranks .South William Street Closed ,Capel Street Closed .Our trip time has increased by about 6 minutes per job due to cycle lanes and road closures .That represents a 12% decrease in the amount of jobs we can cover and in our earning power .Cause and effect it really is that simple .The new traffic management caused it, the effect is increased waiting times .Reduced Wages adding more taxis will just dilute the earnings .The solution is staggered closing times and more late night bus services .
Regards .
Dear Emer,
Perhaps if your constituents didn't consume vast quantities of alcohol and illicit drugs they could drive themselves home,
You're welcome,
Mr. S. Bullet.
