Did my first TaT job last night €18.50, no commission, no base fee.........yet. Customer was a committed user due to a friend being a taxi driver who explained the background. I suspect that word of mouth promotion, explaining the concept, coupled with reliable service, is the best way to promote the app. Expensive advertising will help, but may not affect those already satisfied with the alternatives, may only attract those who have had a bad experience, or who want to have all available options when cabs are scarce. Hope springs eternal, spread the gospel gentlemen, even if you're not yet on board.

Is that good ? 1 job in how many days ?
It's what I expected, and I have hope, and patience, and if it fails I have lost a lot more, on the turn of a card. It's the least I could do to support the doers rather than the talkers.

If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Rider app looking better now... With no desto fare is correctly shown as From 7.40 EUR and a run to the station is showing as ~9.00 EUR (rate 1). Excellent!

So I heard the radio adverts and it sounds good.

Being optimistic what happens to any profits that the coop generates?How do these things work.Does the weekly fee reduce if it gets big enough to cover the wages?

The ad has the same sound as the 8202020 jingle that everyone remembers a few years ago.Catchy but annoying enough for people to remember it.Hope they make it as it's a competitive world out there.

Seen another app on a roofie called Joemaxi the other day.That must be the fourth new app I've seen in the last couple of months.By Christmas we will all have an app..
