If they start that courier shit bear in mind YOU  are responsible until its delivered and get a name --so if you leave the car --parking charge -time etc and IQ  req to deliver becomes chargeable --they will baulk ,in my mind 30 yoyos min charge !

You can't use the bus lanes with just a parcel so e30 sounds about right!

What makes you think the Courier jobs are for you .They might be about to launch a Courier section on the App same as their rent a Bike .All the services in the one GREAT App .Expect a food delivery section soon .Free Now the TRANSPORT APP .

Yes, but technically, you can only use the bus lanes when you're transporting people.  If it's a package/envelope, you can't!

Edit: 

NTA Taxi Bible (Ed. 7.1, 2018 version)
Use of bus lanes by taxis
- The Road Traffic Regulations 1997 permit taxis in the course of business to use normal (with-flow) bus lanes.
- A taxi can use a normal (with-flow) bus lane only while it is operating as an SPSV – carrying apassenger, on the way to pick up a pre-booked customer, or plying for hire.
- Taxis must not use bus lanes if they are not operating as an SPSV – for example, driving home at the end of a shift, travelling on personal business, or transporting only goods and not passengers.
- Taxis are not allowed to use contra-flow bus lanes (in which traffic travels in the opposite direction to the traffic beside it) under any circumstances.
- Hackneys and limousines are not permitted to use bus lanes.

Am I wrong in thinking that one can use the bus lanes "on the way to a job"?

I edited my answer while you were typing...

- A taxi can use a normal (with-flow) bus lane only while it is operating as an SPSV – carrying apassenger, on the way to pick up a pre-booked customer, or plying for hire.
- Taxis must not use bus lanes if they are not operating as an SPSV – for example, driving home at the end of a shift, travelling on personal business, or transporting only goods and not passengers.


Obviously you'd want to meet a cop in a really bad mood to be caught.  My warning was more about people who throw an envelope at you and think you'll get it there in 5 mins 'because bus lanes'.  Or someone could go ballistic if you refused them because of an envelope on the front seat?

A traditional base with which I worked years ago would always try to arrange a passenger job to go along with the package job.

Sometimes a taxi is easier to get on an app than a courier.I doubt that they are time sensitive deliveries unless someone is waiting for keys or something important.

All the jobs I've gotten that say courier trip are just passenger jobs.It's just another fuk up with the software.The wankers at Freenow keep changing things without any consultation.

Any pictures of that scratch on yer roof DMG...

Is there a special symbol for courier jobs?  Can't say I've seen one yet?
