New increase

[Rat Catcher]

4.5% isn't great and it'll cost us the guts of a deuce to get it.

What's the legal position on making us accept card payments, erm? Are NTA entitled to remove our entitlement to legal tender and, if so, could such a directive be taken as indicative of a new status as employees of NTA? ... and what happens when the internet or phone signal fails?

If you're going to a desto known for pisspoor Wi-Fi you could ask for payment up front.

[Rat Catcher]

Wi-Fi is the wrong term, completely wrong. You mean poor mobile internet or a poor mobile phone signal. What happens if you're going to an area with excellent coverage and it fails? Should we just ask for a deposit up front as a matter of course for all card payments, as is our legal entitlement?

They are finding it very hard to get taxis to do runs now.

Local Hacks will sort that .join the dots ?With all the kids being diagnosed with some sort of ailment especially since Joan cut the Lone parents for over 7s these kids now are designated special needs so their lone parents can claim carers allowance after the kid is 7 .All you hear now is about kids on the Spectrum I thought a Spectrum was a computer .

It’s not for everyone.
Doing one for 20 years and it suits me.

I started one this year. It’s security for me for the next 5 years. Guaranteed income.

Not to be sneezed at.

As regards a driver getting €280 a day, let’s just say he will be doing a lot of driving for that money

Don’t think i would either. I’m happy with my 2 hours lost to the school run and I can work between the drop off at school and pick up from school.

[Jack Meoff]

A school run that pays 280 a day I would have no interest.
It’s big mileage.
It sounds great.
But not for me.

If we need to take card will the taxithingey tell us how we do it as there is nowhere in legislation says a taxi driver must carry a phone or internet accessable device .Will the Minister sign a SI instructing drivers to carry a phone .If you run out of credit must you stop working ?

True John
I can see that point.

Don't push the NTA too far or they'll force us to install some expensive equipment that always has wifi.They may require it to be calibrated and sealed at our expense too.Maybe best to stay quiet and see what they come up with.A simple Sumup reader may not be enough.

London taxis all accept cards now.So it can be done.

[stonethecrows]

The world has/is changed, soon there will be no cash, shit or get off the pot scenario, none of us like this or want it but I dont see any way we can stop it.

The French taxi men would have blocked three airports and a dual carriageway by now.We're more chilled about these things.
