Still foolhardy enough to work?

[Theoneandonly]

Who'll be foolhardy enough to return to work?
Given that the first person to come into contact with the first victim outside of the Airport was a Taxi driver and it's odds on it was a Taxi driver who met the second, third, forth, fifth ...etc that came home infected from Italy ...
why return at all, knowing you'll be first in the Q for whatever pandemic blows our way next time?
If you feel your hygiene standards aren't up to the mark
If you are afraid to be in the presence of anyone infected with a virus
maybe you should hang up the keys and leave it to the rest of us?
just saying like ... yiz are all so precious and all

The virus (and presumably future viruses) needs to spread, just not too fast. I've no objection to DAA licensed drivers looking after that for us.

We reap...what we sow!

If Leo or Simon go on the telly and ask us to return to the ranks in the national interest I'll reconsider my stance.The facts are they don't need us.Unemployed fukkers.everywhere offering lifts for free.

What we're seeing here is the symptom of an older unfit fleet.Lads who were fukked over during the last recession are getting a chance to make the most out of our self unemployed status and give two fingers to the NTA .It's only been a few years since we were fukking each other over for a tenner an hour.

A lot of copy and pasting going on here, as id swear a few professors on this forum? .Ive being watching the rodent main offender.

[Cool Boola]

A few?....You are joking

I think Big Dommo was a Professor he done the old Professors FAS course in the hut on the Canal near the Kylemore Bridge .Paula O Leary was there as well they studied Environmental Cleanliness pulling pillowcases full of dead pups and kittens out of the 7th lock with a hook on the end of a big stick .

It seems as though some drivers are only now realising their cabs are petri dishes for viral and bacterial infections, maybe they should rethink their future?
Personal hygiene and vehicle cleanliness was always a function of the job, strange as that may seem to some on here.
Customers too are becoming more aware of how easily these things spread and will be even more reluctant to enter the garbage cans some call taxis
seriously ... you have 5 more weeks before the government stops the handout, so practice house painting, gardening, PHP programming ... whatever takes your fancy ... yiz are definitely not cut out to be taxi drivers, it\s just not a job not for wimps

Freenow advised passengers in a recent email to touch as few surfaces as possible when inside a taxi.

Lucky for me I don't have a regular customer base that I need to service.Some other driver will cover my customers.I can sit out this for a couple of years without going broke.Life's too short lads.

This might interest some of yis...Portugese authorites are only allowing passengers in the back and it can be only one third of the vehilces capacity.
One passenger at a time for saloons.

Rideshare on the way?

[mercenary for hire]

With the new found community spirit out there I suspect a few wannabe taxi drivers could start their own transportation services under the radar.

There's a thread over on Boardzzz dunno if you saw it where D15 residents are complaining about the cost of taxis to the airport and I think they've set up some sort of neighbourly arrangement to drop each other to the airport on rotation.All above board but could easily lead to a cut price taxi service if someone gets laid off.

Could be a good time to slip it in.
