An idea.

In the future, after you accept the job, immediately ring the punter and tell them who you are and what you're driving.

Tell them rogue operators are working near Heuston and Free now won't guarantee their safety if they are enticed into the wrong car.

It might just work.

Take whatever you can,wherever you can.The old rules are out the window.Nothing is out of bounds anymore.

There's a steady flow of drivers going into Heuston when the trains are due these days,many are old timers .If I ever take anything in there it's because no longer feel the need to send the work around to a load of pensioners with nothing to do all day except sit on the longest rank in Dublin outside of the Kesh.

No hard feelings pensioner scum.

If ever I'm dropping off in Whitney and someone asks me am I free I always answer them truthfully as I'm a terrible lier and tell them yes, I am free. I had your man in the high vis one day taking photos of me reg coz I was picking up at the tracks. Told him to jog on, the passenger is my brother in law.

There's a lot of snatching on Free Now. In general clients just want to get from A to B so if they eHail a cab from a bar, for example, they don't pay a lot of attention to what car is allocated - they're probably in conversation or maybe put their phone away to urinate before leaving or whatever. Hence when they go outside they may or may not ask any of the taxis queued up or dropping off if they've been allocated the job. The best way to avoid such disappointment is not to accept jobs from pubs, transport terminals, etc when you know there's plenty of cars available in those locations.

I had one myself last Sunday evening... It was a dreadfully quiet weekend and I was parked in the layby on Priorswood Rd, Coolock, quite immersed in Willie Carlin's account of his days spying on Sinn Fein in Londonderry when a gentleman approached and asked if I was for no. 112. I advised him that I hadn't been allocated any specific fare but was available for hire. With that he boarded my vehicle and we set off for Dublin City Centre.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Oh... I had the opposite on Saturday evening. A Free Now job from a private residence in West Kilmore, allegedly going to Ballboughal. When I arrived and telephoned (as requested) the man who answered the phone said the taxi he ordered (for a visiting relative) had come and gone. No bother, says I and just as I was about to hang up he added they were going to Ballybough and yer man thought it was Ballyboughal so he wasn't best pleased... that's cheered me up a bit anyway, says I, thanking him for the information. Hence I guess it's fair to conclude that the somewhat dissatisfied driver cancelled in frustration so the system dispatched another idiot i.e. me!

I guess that's another form of snatching i.e. cancelling the fare after picking up so another car may get dispatched depending on what reason you select for cancelling.

That's a British firm, erm. It used to have an alliance of some sort with Team P.R. Reilly but bought them out a few years back.

All the time Ken...its not snatchin...its takin the work back from cunts that are charging over 20% commission , hospitality charges an charging " tech" fees to our customers and running a priority system thats unfairness in the workplace .....that's theft in me book and despicable
corporate greed and abuse of drivers  ....an any driver that accepts them jobs is a complete and utter moron and a scab  ...fuk em
