FREE NOW St.Patrick's Week

[silverbullet]

One job from them for the whole week. Are they winding down, or is it merely an attempt to blackmail drivers into defacing their vehicles with cheap advertising?

On the other hand, Uber jobs were flying, branding or not.

BOLT are sending me more jobs than FN FFS!

After a drought of nearly a month I completed my first Freenow job on Sunday.They even emailed me last week to say they'd loads of work but they really don't.The ambassador branding may just have alienated enough drivers that even as taxi drivers we'd rather work for Uber.

I was speaking to a pal recently who claims he can't even get enough work to get priority status anymore.All that tells me is they've lost their lead.

Told yis .... ya can fool sum the apes sum o the time .... an all o the apes all o the time .... but a greedy cunt meets karma in the end ....

They shudder consulted me yers ago ....I cud turned that business around in a month Donald Trump style .... ide go so far as to say  uber wud of bean obliterated ....
It's quite obvious now that feenow has capitulated to an uber takeover ...
I'm given taxi work another yer or 2 before rideshare comes in .... if you understand  how corrupt an fucked
yur country works ...  somewhere along the line the brown envelope will be the right size .....
The future of ape transport is economic tourist employment wen the exchequer begins to crumble ....
An the way tings are goin we won't have much time left ....

Weird. I went back to my Coolock centric circuit on Sun night having got my second ton plus job from Uber or Free Now up above to Dublin. I needed one job for an Uber bonus but ended up doing 8+ for Free Now and clearing their €40 bonus instead. Was just about home by 21:30 when for no good reason I automatically accepted a Free Now to Skerries following which I figured I might as well take one to Rush following which I couldn't resist the third (almost) ton of my shift going right up above to Dublin city via Swords. Didn't get home 'till 23:02 having started at 16:05... and after doing a few hours in the morning (c.10:03-c.13:01). Done a few hours (2.57) yesterday afternoon which were shite by comparison, barely pulling a ton in total... rough with the smooth, I guess.

Anywaysanall, I digress... my point is that there's fuck all work on Uber in the working class northside suburbs where you'd be forgiven for thinking folk might prefer cheaper fares.  I couldn't get a single fare to clear the bonus or (for the conspiracy theorists) do they deliberately bypass you to avoid paying the bonus? I don't really subscribe to that theory 'cos I have cleared a few of their bonuses working the north county and even got the odd extra fiver per job that they seem to offer once you've completed the minimum requirement.

My St. Patrick's weekend was very different to yours SB, but then again I'm 'Licky-Lacky' Gold status and always on Priority, and I only use the 1 app.

My working week started at Midnight on Thursday night and finished at 11.15am on Monday morning doing 40.5 hours work over the weekend, of which I covered 93 FN jobs, got €260 in Bobo from 5 completed Bobo quest's and paid €259 in commission. The €279 from the 93 x €3 PUC's will just about cover my tax bill fer the weekend.

You'll still have to pay tax when the PUC is gone!

Ride share won't come in because the industry is to heavily regulated with car standards/revenue and insurance, All that's gone if you have anyone with a car doing it. It's not in the other countries in the EU I think.

I got a hairy one from Uber, a few from BOLT and C2K, but just one from FN. As the old saying goes "When the radio is busy the streets are busy".

Decent enough for me yesterday.... guts of a deuce by lunchtime. Not a peep out of either app so far today though. I was late logging in (c.09:02, usually switch on c.07:58) 'cos I had a double driving lesson last night... swings and roundabouts, I guess.

Wats a deuce ? These inglish slang words  are very irritating to us celts

2 ton. Still €0 so far today... one offer from Hal's neck of the woods is the only noise my clever phone has made since I logged on over 2 hours ago... I'd nearly take a taxi save job to the station at this stage!
