mytaxi Policy Change - PUC added to fares

[mercenary for hire]

In fairness we've all been getting ignored for years it was funny watching them getting slaughtered on thier social media accounts.As soon as enough drivers turn it off they're fukked and they know it.

So...the question is..how many of yis will drive past a street hail for a MyTaxi fare with PUC on Fri/Sat nights?

Not me.
Although some will love the extra €1.76 in their pockets, even though they'll have driven whatever distance to pick up the MyTaxi job

[mercenary for hire]

A few more will but they're still screwed in the long run IMO.I'm quite happy to leave the app off as I'm enjoying the cash lately.

I'd also advise any of yis who don't wanna accept mytaxi card payment from a rank to remove yer stickers.They've now put it on as compulsory.

Credit where credit is due. PUC will cover commission so we now have a service we can actively promote and support. There will, of course, be concerns about one firm monopolising our trade going forward. However, this policy change proves that mytaxi is a firm that drivers can work with.

Fri/Sat night is another question. There are other reasons for drivers limiting the amount of mytaxi work they cover. Whether or not the new policy proves to be a success for the firm in monetary terms remains to be seen but it ought to succeed in gaining the goodwill of drivers.

Well done Stephen. Thank you.

Nothing to do with me, any issues I raised (including this one) had been raised by plenty of other drivers before me. I was surprised that management openly admitted that this was the number one complaint from drivers, they could have easily dismissed it by pointing to Joe Heron's telling Today FM that it wasn't' an issue for drivers. Instead they have dealt with the issue in an open and honest manner, for that they deserve respect and praise.

So RC....were you sworn to secrecy at the love in by your bosses about the PUC being reinstated?

[Rat Catcher]

No. They hadn't made any decision at that stage. As reported on here they gave the impression that they supported charging full fare but such a major policy decision needed to be discussed at board level.

your sitting 12th on Leason Street and a Mytaxi job pops up do you accept and offset the commission with the PUC or do you wait on the illegal rank .
