Pat Kenny is doing a 'Back To Work' feature on his show and focused on the taxi industry this morning (~9.30am). He had Ebbs on the show. Ebbs said he had about 800 full-time drivers and about a 1,000 part-time drivers. Only about half of the full-timers were working and the part-timers had 'disappeared'. Lynk business was down to about 26% of normal but might be 28% by the end of the week. He saw this as positive news.
Shortly after the piece, a taxi-driver texted in to say he needed €2,800
a week to pay bills etc but he was only earning €500 a week at the moment. He finished his text with, "
but I'm not complaining."
So half of Lynk's full-time fleet are chasing 25% of the work... Doesn't sound like a reason to go back working?
