Consultation to tell us how to do our job !!! Laffin

The bit I look at is the Comittee were told TAXI Drivers do not want to work Nights ?They dealt with the other Problem of unaffordable Cars but now the Lack of Nightime Drivers ?.

Maybe just recruit younger drivers who wont be scared of drugged up passengers?

Compulsorily payment  of a deposit by credit card before the start of any journey  durin the nite  ...wud link cnuts to subsequent  criminal behaviour  an make then tink twice ....
We have to supply card readers ...why not use them for security aswell 

Echoing a similar point to one of my earlier posts.

You going to pay for that 1990 .Where I work my customers would not welcome CCTV .I also wouldnt welcome it .Why would I want to be filmed at work ?

 Camara only on passangers?

If you are a witness you will be asked to go to court. if you have cctv, you can just give it to the guards, no need to go to court and say what you saw. I know this from experience.
OCCi a little story .I picked up a crew on Clanbrasil Street a few years ago as they got in they said look at these cunts following us .I drove the lads to where they were going dropped them off then I got the Blues and Twos  Garda asked where I picked them up I said I cant remember he then said Im sure if I brought you to Sundrive Road you would remember .So I said you know where I picked them up you followed us .I got out of the car gave the keys to the gard and said you drive that I will get in the back of the Garda Car .He told me to Fuck off .I drove off continued with my business .If the Crew had of been up to any nonsence in Clanbrasil Street I dont want to be called up in court to identify anybody .If you had CCTV you could walk yourself into a bullett full of trouble .I am a Taximan not a Public order mobile operative willing to pay for the service .

I was outside a late pub in the burbs one night, there was an unofficial rank outside. Next minute this bloke gets fcuked out by the bouncers. He walks over to his car, parked right outside, gets in, starts it up and drives it straight through the glass front doors of the bar with the bouncers having to jump out of the way. Straight away yer man's windscreen is getting whacked with baseball bats. They dragged yer man out of the car, gave him a few slaps and held him on the ground till the gards arrived.  So he gets nicked and one of the gards started writing down the roof numbers of the cars that were there, about 3 or 4. A few weeks later I gets a phone call from the local station wanting to know can I come down and have an interview.  So I went down the next day and they were asking what did I see and so forth.  I said from the off that I'm not signing nothing and I'm definitely not going to any court. I don't know yer man I says and I don't know who he knows. I've to work around here and so forth.  So they agreed.  I told them what I seen and stupidly says yer man jumped in a clio and drove it through the doors. My misses had the same car at the time. So that was that. A few weeks
later later I get a summons in the door to go to court. After me telling them I'm not going to court. So I went to my doctor and told him the craic.  He gave me a letter saying I was in bits with my back. I put that and the summons into an envelope and gave it back in to the station. Moral of the story they will use any information that you may have to further their case in court with total disregard of the potential consequences for you. I explained it to them but they still went ahead. I would not be for mandatory cctv for this very reason.

Not on the day shift 1990 in Dublin.Even the rank customers are paying by card and if you want be busy you need to work the apps which are mostly account.The job isn't what it used to be.

There's cash out there, but usually in the working-class suburbs.

[mercenary for hire]

But surely Silver if yer getting the job via app it may as well be on card.All that work is on record somewhere.I get flagged down seldomly off the street and even those people wanna pay by card.

I only work nights. If the Apps are active say around Coolock village, then I'll swing by before tapping the App'. You'll invariably pick up a cash job and save 15%.

[watty]

I'm finding more and more FN customers are paying cash.  Not sure if I should worry or not about it.  Maybe people are paying closer attention to their bank balances as they realise paying by card is not 'free money'?  I guess I work the working class suburbs of Dublin 7,9,11 daytime.

[mercenary for hire]

My experience Silver is they'd rather stand at the side of the road looking into their phone for ten minutes rather than put their arm up.They've been brainwashed.Gonna be hard to get them back.

Watty those are the ones who don't wanna pay the technology fee.

I could show you the app screenshot of cash v card - approx' 50/50 ATM.

So good I said it twice 

[John m]

I know most of the Bogies where I work and who to avoid .Addresses I avoid and people I drive by .Dublin 8,10,12 you need to learn to avoid not tell tales .I had 3 persons in the car one night on Cork Street there was a roadblock I said anybody got anything they should not and I was informed we would not be stopped the gards were in front and behind us I drove straight through .If I had the Sunday World I could of got them to sign it ..

[Horse]

It was worth saying twice.
