18th Fare Chart

[John m]

Sent one to the Admin it looks like 20% above metered fare .If you are near an NCT suitability center they might have them .Not sure if they will post them out to everybody .

I thought the NTA were supposed to get them to operators before the 18th!!

Cheers watty,

Funny there's no mention of receipts in the letter?  Could get some 'backseat lawyers' declaring they're only paying what's on the meter and/or give them a receipt.

I would rather sit in a city street doorway with a cup in hand begging (prob make more !) than ask a customer fer a few euro over the metered fare and have to explain it in detail to each of them. That is just degrading and in today's scam world then every customer will think that they have just been scammed by their Taxi driver and most likely they will leave bad ratings fer the driver if using the apps, which in turn affects how job offers are given out by the apps to drivers.

There seems to be no mention of PUC or 3 or 4 passengers in that document.

@ John M, as your the author of this topic can you please add a poll to the topic with 3 options (more if you wish) to ask;
"Will you charge the extra on the new bank holiday 18th March ?"

1. Yes, I will charge the extra.
2. No, I will not charge it.
3. Maybe, but only if the fare is juicy enough.

No I wont Why would a taxi driver not want to be paid fairly for his labour .If some want to swallow the Free Now Cum thats their business .You want to know the problem with this job its the fat doing the steering .

You get what you are entitled to no more .I was the second person ever to be served in the Penny Hill in Lucan drank there EVERY DAY .I went down on the 31 of December 1999 had Porter watched the racing went home came back later with Me hen to be told it was a fiver in that night .I asked why and was informed it was millenium night and the fiver was for the staff .I told them to Fuck off if they wanted more wages ask Millionaire Louie Fitzgerald .I was told no fiver no entry .I have only been back once in 22 years .Ken I was an apprentice worked for nothing as I learned then got proper money .Working men earn the right to their wages based on their Knowledge and Service .In what universe would you not want to be paid the rate for your labour .Next thing you will be asking us to sing Gospel Spirituals like Black Slaves ,Learn to RESPECT YOURSELF .
