I don't see that car on our database.

Although it's on the NTA Driver Check.

4.9 is ok in the driver app, that's my driver rating on Uber. Handy to know that's the default for riders, otherwise I don't think I'd accept a job from a rider with such a low rating, most Uber riders seem to be well over 4.9.

Still showing "from 5.40" in my rider app with no desto, BhT... but now "~7.00" to the station on rate 2. At least they're working on it anyway... riders won't take kindly to being taken for a ride! When they've that done tell them to add a card payment facility and make riders specify their destinations!

Had another look at the rider app with a view to ordering a car in the early hours of this morning. Unfortunately for me (but good for co-op members, I guess) there were no cars available. However, I noticed it's no longer possible to order a car without giving a desto - at least not easily - which is a good thing but the fares still seem to be fluctuating a lot. I was quoted ~7.00 EUR for a local on rate 2... which isn't possible at full metered rates so still a bit of work needed on that and still no frictionless card payment facility.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Jaysus, RC, calm down!  It's a driver's co-op they're running, not a business  :P

And a very good job they're doing of it. They are competing with commercial platforms though so ought to strive to be at least as good as their competitors. To be fair they've made giant strides to date, far beyond anything I might have thought possible but there's always room for improvement / crossing the eyes and dotting the teas.

Does it use the iCabbi platform, because  it has to be the worst App for taxis that I've ever used.

No. It's an Estonian app, I think.

Aah, like BOLT then?

I wonder if a scrote does a runner from a cash app job and gets caught, could he argue that he thought the word BOLT was an instruction? 8)

I think so. The validation SMS comes from an Estonian number. IIRC, they said they sourced it abroad at the meeting I attended but they didn't say where or I wasn't listening when they did.

The way they display currency i.e. x.xx EUR rather than €x.xx is consistent with Estonian formatting or any of a number of other (Eastern) European countries.

So does this app take the fare from the passengers account or do you take cash or card payment?

No in app payments as yet,but plans in train, I believe. All drivers, as you know, are obliged to have a c card facility, and many, like mise have the Revolut app.

I think it's 300 once off buy in and 130 pm and it's normal payment with the taxi ,cash or card. It seems reasonable enough, better than company fees or free now and Uber style fees.
