[dublin2018]

I'm hearing reports on the ground FREENOW have issued its robots a stand down command from the bunker in Lwr Mount st ,on 50% discounts.Are the German Panzer tanks in retreat???...If this is true ,I hope the media chase them down, on there lies and trying to make gains in a Global Pandemic, on free advertising ,when hundreds of thousands of people out of work and advising drivers how to modify there vehicles against  Covid19 .Who do this company think they are??.Very Nasty.Maybe a email to the media will get more light on situation.

This was my original reply and I passed it on to many friends asking them to forward it and also sent it to the Irish Independent, Irish Examiner and a few Radio stations;


I got the cringeworthy FN email sent out to customers,
very little mention that FN are taking No hit at all but just dropping the commission,
and no mention at all that the Taxi driver putting his life at risk is actually the one who suffers financially.
I could rephrase their email fer them (in red);


Helping medical workers get where they need to be

50% off taxis for our Healthcare Heroes paid out of Taxi drivers pockets while FN staff cocoon safely at home behind closed doors.
Ireland is currently facing an unprecedented challenge with the onset of COVID-19. Our healthcare heroes not us FN staff are playing a vital role on the frontline and together with drivers who are also on the frontline we want to support them from our FN homes and places of safety.

That's why "we" are launching a joint initiative with drivers offering all healthcare professionals 50% off their essential trips. ‌We FN don't charge the usual 15% commission and the Taxi driver risking his life takes the lions share of the hit of 35% off the fare.

'Together', we want to make sure that all healthcare professionals can get where they need to be as quickly and easily as possible.‌ ..........

Thanking you all fer your time and when this is over our FN team will reemerge from our places of safety to provide you with the best Taxi app service in the country, the Taxi drivers who currently serve you are no longer allowed in to our offices but they should be ok to look after your journey. We at FN do not provide any of our drivers with any type of PPE or sanitizers, nor do we at FN offer our drivers any type of benefit if they get sick with the virus or God forbid Die.

Thanks,

Fairplay Belkar ,People need to know what type of nasty company they are, and how dare they do that to drivers working and to humiliate them ,even though they robots.They broke all rules doing what they did in profiteering from media attention.Id say there I.T geeks are planing a response soon from a directive from Germany.Pure GREED and RECKLESS

[Horse]

Yeah fair play ken and yeah a letter to the media explaining from a drivers point of view wouldn't go a miss either. I understand some drivers simply have to work to cover overheads, I'm not one of them thank god,  but this crowd effectively forcing them to do double shifts, risking their lives and their loved ones just to stay afloat. Its wrong on so many levels.

[Dr. Martin Gooter Bling]

here for fuck's sake the elephant in the room.
taxi drivers are essential workers just like the nurses and the doctors.
I believe every nurse and doctor has taken a 50% pay cut.
and of course all the freenow employees have donated 50% of their wages to whatever the fuck.
they've flown too close to the gick this time with all their bollocks.
nobody was sent any fuckin corolla virus driver survey.
who the fuck would vote for their wage to be slashed.

[dalymount]

I think to messy to do that,Insurance yes but Taxi leave it alone.hopfully we be back for September.

[Rat Catcher]

If you suspend the insurance you must inform NTA who will, in turn, suspend your licence.

[dalymount]

Well I done it no messing at all. I simply rang BJP who gave me a number for AXA in Derry, then took the taxi status off the policy I can still drive for pleasure, and personal use. Rang the NTA they broke the link . Ring us when you want to re-establish link . No problem

what's the number and how much did you save % will suffice

[dalymount]

60% they told me that is the figure that anyone who rang gets off . So I was paying 185 a month , it's now 73 a month . But you have to ring the insurance each month around the 20th for as long as you want to continue it

It's back!

Cool I'll be on to that in the morning, what's the derry number?
