Hi Stephen,

Demand for taxis is getting back to normal levels again which is fantastic to see! We saw that drivers were offered and completed 41% more jobs last week than they did in the same week last year.

Last year.

2019 - No pandemic
2020 - Pandemic but 41% increase!

Surprised at the Sunday Times listening to whinging cabbies, surely they should be talking to the company bosses... if those lads worked for Free Now they'd have no problem... but, then, I guess Revenue and/or Welfare would know that too.

Sean Mc Govern is a company boss, it says so in the article.

I don't know if it the same Sean that ran Local cabs, Roy might know.

If its just an NCT they usually only want your rent and drivers licence (maybe) for proof of who you are
