Heading home c. 1.50 this am around The Green, up Camden ST, wall to wall yellow lights, same through Ranelagh, a reminder of bad days past. €261 net for 9 hours. I reckon that's near enough to min wage + expenses for weekend night work.
Same down here Harry, held just about a 30 per hour dart average fer a long Sunday, all tariff 2.

...... I opted out ages ago.
Opting out will get you great Brownie points on here and bragging rights on the rank BUT 95% of all FN work is now Saver jobs, so if'n your non ambassador then you might as well delete the app rather than Opt out.

I've been opted out of the taxi saver work for a long time and just recently I've noticed I'm getting more offers of full fares. The only reason I can think of is drivers leaving off Freenow since the membership of Tapataxi is growing.

Let's be serious here the lads that were willingly covering discounts for months won't suddenly email Freenow to opt out. They'll just delete it or leave it off realising they've been duped.

Freenow/Lyft would wanna watch out as the co-op could very quicky take their drivers and then their customers.They already lost a lot of work to Uber.All it takes is a few hundred more drivers to turn off and they're cooked.

It's not so much the Saver jobs that have caused the slow down, the amount of folk around town has dramatically decreased in the past year or so and the amount of taxis has increased or maybe even DOUBLED !

Looks good Watty. A relative of mine signed up about a month ago and I think his membership number was 1400 or somewhere close. Won't be long before Tapataxi have 2000 drivers if they don't already.

Correct me if I’m wrong here lads.
Are the FreeNow ambassador/gold medal/priority taxis proud to be offering a 25% fee ?
Was it only 9% commission a few years ago and now it’s 25%.
In what industry with fuel prices so high is offering such a big discount.
Just goes to show that FreeNow are not on the side of the taxi driver.
But best of luck to the drivers who are willing to cover the discount work.

Have ya seen the price of electricity!  Very expensive to run computers nowadays so that's why the commission is so high (probably)...

I heard FN are trying to reduce costs by importing some Polish hamsters to generate electricity in-house using threadmills  :-X  If that doesn't work out, they might scrape the barrel and use Ambassador taxi drivers in the threadmills.  They'll work for almost nothing  :P

A punter was telling me he got an EV off Connolly Station up above in Dublin and when he went to put his luggage in the boot there was four immigrants running nowhere in one of them wheel yokes getting the batteries charged up for their shifts anall..
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.
