I doubt if UBER have 5000 drivers in Eire .

They wudny have introduced deals on wheels without havin the majority of drivers johnny .....lot drivers got a pain in ther hole with freenow an ther bollix .... dont know how many times I got suspended on it  an threatened.... then ya had the licky lackys gettin all the work ... then they braut in " technology fees" an pissed off the apes .....
Uber profited from all thar an more ive probly forgotten an bided ther time an the apes switched over to uber giving discounts to get  apes joined up ....

Hopefully in the bigger picture uber fooking up with the FF's,I know the hungas are doin them but there must be a good few lads not touchin em.
Right from the beginning I've refused UFF, or UUF's.

It allows us to remember how we used to work the streets and the pubs, and take 100% 0f the fare.

I found a much higher concentration of riff raff among street hails, at least in the northside suburbs, as rideshare platforms became the norm. There's not many you'd stop for on the Golden Mile these days after dark, I guess it's in the back of our minds that there's a reason they're not using an app like everyone else and a sense of security where they do use apps? I don't mind paying the 15% commission for the convenience of an app but 25% is too much for me so I've opted out of Free Now's Taxi Saver fleet. As I opted out of their hospitality fleet years ago and I don't cover DAA pickups for them there's fuckall left on it really, I'd be lucky to see 5 viable offers a week off it these days. Hopefully the co-op will make headway before Uber follows suit... or we could all be queuing in front of you to drive drunks home from bars. I've never understood men taking app jobs from pubs, I understand the riders using their apps in pubs because the fares are much lower than the men queuing outside would want but it's never been work I'd be prepared to pay for.

Do you add the PUC on to street/rank jobs? I've noticed a lot of men do these days... probably 'cos punters are used to it or, in most cases, wouldn't notice.

If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

I've experienced it as a passenger up above in Dublin. Genuine mistake on that driver's part, I suspect 'cos he rounded down what he asked for quite significantly... probably just habit if most of your work if for the rideshare platforms or traditional depots.

Just when SB says he gets 100% of the fare driving drunks home from the city I was wondering if that includes PUC.

I've been in a few taxis myself over the years and even the experienced ones have tried to overcharge me with the PUC off the street.Usually I'll say nothing but sometimes I'll remind them I'm a driver as I'm leaving without tipping.Hopefully they get the message.

Separately I picked up a chap from Northwood who I knew was a taxi driver from a previous fare and dropped him to his second job in Clontarf castle.He doesn't tip at all and he has two jobs and on both fares I charged the correct ammount each time.I'm guessing he didn't like My putting two and two together...My conclusion is some taxi drivers are just hungry cunts.

The Killer is my local, and I know most of the staff. There's a quid pro quo too. I often get an odd pint gratis for services rendered.

You'd want to be a real scaldy c*nt to charge a PUC on street hails.

Do you pity the drivers that have to pick you up from battlecruisers? 8)
