FREENOW BRANDING DISAPPEARING
« on: February 07, 2020, 06:25:14 am »
I've noticed in the City less and less FREENOW branding on taxis seems to be less every night Im out .I think they pissed off the drivers with 15%  rofl rofl.Maybe its just throwing the rattler out of the pram.The Germans will respond to them rapidly id say. ::fight

Yep... I know of 2 drivers doing that while now but still scum in my opinion.

Me personally im app free and radio free since the new year and so far it hasn't made much of a difference on my income to previous January's

Some lads are paying them a serious amount of commission and giving away free advertising.Maybe the honeymoon period has ended.I'd say more would remove the branding if they knew how to do it safely without damaging the paint.

Yes but still operate as "Undercover Ambassadors" and get preference over the rest of us ordinary scum.

The one thing I can never understand about drivers is,you seem to think if dispatchers were gone from the industry,that people would stop using taxis .how do you come to that conclusion ? all this would mean is,you have rid the industry of these people who seem to think they are your employers,you would create a level playing feild,you would not be subject to outside interference in YOUR business,you would have no fees to pay to anyone etc etc yet inspite of all that you would rather be told how to run tour own business,and be treated like an employee ? I just dont get it

Well said DM , cash is king (until we are forced to offer CC facility)

This is something else I dont get .you CANNOT be forced to offer CC facilities,fot two reasons.firstly I would suggest it is completely against to force any trader in any business into any particular method of payment  for the product they are trading,and secondly if every taxi driver tells them to fukk off there is nothing they can do.the same with dispatchers tell them to fukk off ,your taking back your industry

The thing I have a problem with is, I would not mind accepting CC,but I have a problem with it when im told I HAVE to accept it.the NTA  have no right to enforce that on any taxi driver.no to mention your tips are almost a thing of the past,your earnings are wide open to scrutiny by people whos business it isnone of etc,
