Hi Stephen,

Demand for taxis is getting back to normal levels again which is fantastic to see! We saw that drivers were offered and completed 41% more jobs last week than they did in the same week last year.
 ‌
Below shows the average number of jobs completed and the average earnings last week for the top 20% of drivers on FREE NOW.
 
€1,632    Average earnings ‌

95    Average jobs‌

If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

RC did you request information because I didn't get any email.

So back to normal for the number of drivers currently on the road or back to normal as in the same level of demand as this time last year.

I don't really trust them to give us a straight answer.

It's unsolicited mail. I didn't request anything... sure I'm getting three and a half hundred a week free money, I've no intention of working for a living for as long as that continues. Right now I'm as happy as a pig in shite.

I got that email as well.  It doesn't mention what the other 80% got.  Or even the median earnings.  Sure that 20% could be Vandriver himself and there's only 5 FN working (unlikely but you never know).

Quite impressive that in the midst of a pandemic, they/we? are doing even better than they/we did in normal times last year!  Also it's a strange way to construct a sentence - "drivers were offered and completed"



Don't forget all of us freeloaders have to confirm to SW that we're still eligible for the €350 by Monday or (I think) we get knocked off the scheme...

Nothing tricky, 3 minute job... I put not sure for anticipated return as there was no "when you stop giving me free money" option.

The 'real' pubs are reopening 20th July, assuming the virus doesn't spike again after last weekend's food & drink orgy in town.

I can see them postponing the wet pub openings if the R number keeps increasing.

Ask and ye shall receive -->  Taoiseach: Phase four re-opening may be delayed over fears around gatherings and house parties (breakingnews.ie)

Quote
There are mounting fears that Phase Four of the country’s re-opening will be postponed amid concerns about the renewed spread of the Coronavirus.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin said public health officials are “very concerned” about scenes last weekend of house parties and large crowds gathering outside pubs.

He said the government will take advice from the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) in relation to the commencement of phase four of the reopening for pubs and the wider economy.

“There is concern about indoor gatherings, and the degree to which those indoor gatherings may be causing an increase in the prevalence of the virus and leading to a spread,” he said.
