Bobo's getting tougher.
« on: February 03, 2023, 07:00:17 am »
I got me Bobo offers fer this weekend, 8 jobs fer a Pony between midnight and 4am on Fri and Sat nights.
I don't remember what it used to be but I don't think it was ever 8 before !

That will be a hard Bobo to make with the city centre 'Jungle' being more or less off-limits fer booked pick-up's between 12.30am and 3.30am. Hardly worth the bother fer a taxable Pony.

They're not trying to reward you - they're trying to stop you working for other apps or yourself (street hails)!
Getting old is compulsory whilst growing up is voluntary.

I got no offer but that'd be no use to me anyway.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

€30 off your freight... without which my freight would have been well over €50 for ONE (9.5 hour) SHIFT. I'd say you can remember when we got a week's freight for €80 and could do as much work as we wanted for that!

And no commission, and no backhanders to base staff? Ya spoofer. If you weren't giving backhanders or doing backdoor work you were on your own. 8)

Ah, the Good Auld days ! Sitting on a rank and belling in fer every job and trying to keep track of the base roster and paying about a Ton a week fer it, while half of the work you did was your own off the street/private.

Your downtime back in the Good Auld days would often be 50+% of your working day, granted app commission costs are exhorbitant but the downtime is nothing near 50%.

I find that between Legal PUC's, Tips and Bobo's it negates the commission, and at least your moving all the time, nothing more boring fer me than sitting on a rank.
