My TAT number is the the mid 1900's and a Cork colleague who joined 3 day before me, his number was 22 less than mine, so to hazard a guess TAT is at almost 2000 members and signing about 7 new drivers a day ??
That's very impressive if we are approaching 2000 drivers, I'm very glad to see that the momentum seems to be continuing. Despite the naysayer(s) this is the first real attempt to take back the business, and should be supported, albeit while continuing to get what some individuals need from the other apps, just write off an extra Sat night hour @ €27.70, and if there is an easy "on the drip" option for the €300. Be prepared for some "f$ck us up" tactics from the billionaire Trumpian apps now.



Is theire much work??

...... and if there is an easy "on the drip" option for the €300. .....
I was thinking the same Harry, if they proposed E170 a month fer the first 6 months and then E120 a month after that they might entice a few more rather than hitting them with a first day E300 start-up.


Ide o paid €3000  knowing wats at stake .... apes quibblin bout a lousy € 300..... incomprehensible  stupidity ..... sum yu are paying more than that in discounts to uber an lyft every month an are about to pay alot more ...


I warned yis uber wud start turning the screw down the road  wen yis started takin them  " discount "  jobs an i was called an idiot .... im  bean proven  rite yet again  ... I warned yis they will go 50% plus  an i was told I was a fukin idiot ... ive a grand here if any yu dummies want to take a wager ?

Yis wer on here sayin the discounts are the same as the meter  "sure they miten be as bad as ya tink " an i told yis they'd increase the discount on drivers but the passanger discount wud remain the same ... im rite again ..... in fact not only wer yu all rong ... now yisser given out fuk about uber extracting more and more of yur earnings .... you created the situation an niw yur given ou fuk .... pissin meself laffin
I dont tink any one o yous dummies realise wat uber has bean plannin  for yers .... they are paying journalists  to campaign for more taxis to reduce yur earnings tru dilution..... flood the market wit taxis  then completely destroy it as a viable business  .... get you dopes to retire first then work desperate immigrants to 100 hrs a week  before they are forced out aswell ..... then they will pay more to oirish corrupt media to campaign for uber ride  an put pressure on the queers in kildare street to bring in uber ride ..........
Yu idiots are assisting them  in the destruction of yur own industry helping uber to doo so ....
 Ya fell for the stickers , the priority medals , the bonuses the doughnuts an now yur gettin a large portion up the hole ...... I warned yis all these yers  an thankfully ive prepared meself  an dont need me taxi anymore .....
Heres me final warnin an prediction.... if tap fails its over ..... I told yis wen fixed fares came in last yer that yis wer all unemployed if did them fukin discounts .....
Thers nuttin more annoying than a cnut tellin ya " I told ya so " .... especially a mad cnut ..... but yisser are bringing it on yisser
selves
I TOLD YA SO
Yous oirish are so so dumb

The number of drivers using apps has dropped since the last survey in 2024...

"57% of drivers are affiliated with an app provider, decreasing from 66%"  (2024 --> 2026)

Mmm, but it seems to be representative of c.900 drivers surveyed, would that apply uniformly accross the 27k+ drivers ?

27k+ includes limo drivers, idle drivers, etc... probably less than 18k licenced taxis.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Not hurting them too much yet, but a little maybe. If TaT can get supply to always match demand........"It doesn't hurt when it begins, but as it works its way on in the pain gets stronger, watch it grin"
