We need to fight back, because it's grossly unfair the way the NTA do everything to facilitate public transport. The taxi industry always seem to be the poor relations with the NTA. Why should Dublin bus be subsidized for instance ??
As a newbie to this sector as in NEW still looking around for a car.
Why don’t you fight back? Is there not a union or group of people that could get together to put forward a well thought out case
My suggestion and excuse my ignorance as I said newbie
1. Airport why do you have to pay? It’s providing a service the government should be.
2. Why should a business pay VRT at the usual rate, after all it is a business, if I bought a van up north and paid the vrt as commercial it would be only €300 odd.
3. A subsidised rate for fuel after all most is tax?
4. A group insurance scheme through the government for motor insurance
Instead of raising the fair bring it down a small bit if the above is done, that way taxis will be more appealing.
Free now and the likes is great for the Industry, 99% of people have a phone now and convenience is what people want. Talk to the government and get a taxi app that belong to the taxi driver and the government control it.
I might be naive as I’m a newbie, but I think a lot of yous in the game a long time feel hard done by, it’s your and hopefully my industry so get together and stand up with intellectual arguments and co front the NTA.
